"It is important to emphasize my belief that since all individuals are unique, there is no "one-size-fits-all" model of therapy. I utilize all treatment modalities with the clear foundation of a "strengths perspective", a person/client-centered view...Individuals should be treated "individually", with respect, distinction, and integrity." - Christine MacNaughton
