The bond between therapist and client known as the “therapeutic alliance” is one of the strongest predictors of positive outcomes in therapy.

Therapy requires vulnerability and honesty-sharing your deepest thoughts, feelings, and experiences. A good therapist creates a safe nonjudgemental space where you feel comfortable exploring difficult topics. I respect that you are investing your time, energy, and money into this process, so I will maintain that delicate balance of safety while also challenging you to dig deep.
