Testimony



	Testimonial: What especially stood out to me in this internship is your approach to counseling. I had never been a part of Internal Family Systems therapy or therapy that focused so much on the body. I felt like I gained a lot of insight into how to help lead a client to health through both of these approaches. Seeing clients identify different parts of themselves that were causing harm and then being able to gain insight about themselves and literally in front of my eyes be transformed because of this insight was incredibly empowering. Your approach to guiding clients to these different parts let me see a style of counseling I had not known. Interning at Peer In was profound for me because I got to see the intensity of good therapuetic relationships and witness change in people during a single session. I don't know that every intern gets to witness that, or be a part of that process. This internship also helped me understand what it looks like to let a client go where they need to go and not push an agenda on them. These approaches were good examples of a therapist guiding a client somewhere, but equipping them to grow themselves too.
