A Collaborative Approach to Treatment

As a clinician, Dr. Rafanello utilizes assessment to inform treatment. In essence, you and she define the problems together, understand them, and then address them. This requires honest input and work on the part of the individual and a commitment to change and improvement. Of equal importance is accepting and noticing judgments about yourself and others, that may impact your ability to be happy and cope with life. Also important is a non-judgmental acceptance of yourself and your circumstances. This is necessary in order to truly see and define the problems while simultaneously recognizing and working to change them.
