 earning
about who we are, why we are that way, what is important to us, our strengths and weaknesses in relationships, what we want to change, what we want to leave as it is, and how we choose to live our life is an important first step toward health, growth, and transformation.
 ntegration
of the disparate, often conflicting, parts of ourselves can be the next phase. Bringing these parts together under our direction is like the conductor directing an orchestra. Without a fine conductor to lead, direct, and inspire, even the greatest musicians and instruments will make a lot of noise and no real music. Likewise, without a sense of direction to, and a director for, our inner and outer lives, our life may lack harmony, cohesiveness, and clarity.
 ulfillment
often comes after we know ourselves, are becoming the inner and outer lives, and have well-chosen and defined goals that we feel we are moving toward. Without a clear sense of awareness, direction and progress, the joy and richness that fulfillment brings usually proves illusive.
The  ssence
of our existence here on this planet can be sensed amid an understanding of our deepest values. Knowing, doing, and being what is important leads to purpose and meaning in life.
While each therapist and client give their own emphasis and flavor to the therapeutic relationship, we believe that these four elements form a nucleus of the transformational process.
