One of the unique aspects of Dr. Kay Sudekum Trotter's approach
to therapy is her strong emphasis on individually customized
treatments. During the initial counsultation, you and Dr. Trotter discuss your background, your therapeutic
concerns and goals, your schedule availabilty, and
your financial resources. At the end of the consultation,
you and Dr. Trotter agree on the best treatment plan, which
may consist of one or more of the counseling formats. Before
deciding on the best approach to therapy, Dr. Trotter also carefully
considers your individual needs, wants, strengths, and resources.

A main advantage to individual counseling is the
way in which it
facilitates a very
intense personal relationship between you and the therapist. This allows
you to explore and play
out interpersonal
patterns that may
influence other close relationships throughout your life
without the same complications that
exist in friendships,
family relationships,
and other significant interpersonal relationships.
Through counseling,
you will learn to...
- Explore,
understand,
and work through
problems on
a one-to-one
basis.
- Find
alternatives,
expand choices
and overcome
obstacles that
interfere with your
personal development.
- Clarify
and resolve
personal problems
and stabilize
and enhance
interpersonal
relationships.
- Discover
a sense of
well-being.
