안녕하세요,
한국어 상담 가능합니다.
Greetings and Welcome!
I’m Nathan, and my approach to therapy is deeply rooted in the wisdom of Carl Rogers, who captured its essence in these words:
"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."
I believe that genuine growth and lasting transformation can only emerge from a place of profound self-understanding and unconditional self-acceptance. This means courageously embracing every part of who we are—our strengths and vulnerabilities, our hidden biases, our unresolved wounds, and the triggers that still echo from the past. True change begins not with force or judgment, but with radical honesty and gentle compassion toward ourselves.
"Therapy is not about pushing change; it’s about exploring the ambivalence that blocks it. When you are in psychotherapy with me, you will never hear me say, 'Go this way,' or 'Make a turn here.'"
My role is to walk beside you as a steady companion and empathetic guide on your unique journey of self-discovery and healing. You are the true expert on your own life; I am here simply to listen deeply, reflect with care, offer support without judgment, and create a safe, nurturing space where your inner wisdom can surface.
Together, we will navigate life’s challenges, its painful moments, and its quiet victories. I will be present every step of the way, holding space for you to explore your inner world, reconnect with the resilience and insight already within you, and discover the answers that only you can find.
