His approach to psychotherapy has been deeply influenced by Dr. Carl Rogers, one of the most renowned clinicians in the history of the world and the creator of Person Centered Therapy. One of the central ideas involved in this style of therapy is the concept of self-actualization. Through treating thousands of client’s, Dr. Rogers observed a natural desire in all people to move toward a meaningful and rich life, kind of like when a seed gets planted. It naturally will grow from a seed to a vibrant form of vegetation, IF it is grown in the right environment. Person Centered Therapy creates an emotionally safe, judgement free environment for client’s to work through their issues and actualize into the person they are meant to be. Jesse does his best to model this approach. Feel free to reach out to him at your earliest convenience if you are interested in potentially seeking counseling support.
