Care Philosophy
This content was provided by Lisa Taylor-Austin "I am a down-to-Earth Licensed Professional Counselor who respects my patient's values and opinions. As a counselor my role is to help my patients by giving them a new perspective to their situation, educate them about options, teach them new skills, and provide hope. Most people would like to get through their issues and concerns as quickly as possible and move forward with their lives. For these people I do provide breif counseling. For others, they may need to stay in counseling for three months to two years, depending their diagnosis and depth of issues. I communicate with my patients so that we are working on goals together."
