Husch Hathorne Cantil

MSW,LCSW

This plant is very tenacious-it has to thrive in a room filled with Alaskan light during the winter, so that means it has to work hard to find enough solar energy to grow and thrive. Recently I noticed the plant was stretching out its stems and leaves far past its location-up to the window to find light on its own. I was inspired to watch the plant seek and find what it needed, and that is exactly the way I think about therapy-both in the inspiri...

They'd reply "he's extremely non-judgmental, wants to work on goals that the client desires only, and makes me feel like I can overcome obstacles that have been in my way." I'm going to ask questions like what matters most to you? What do you live for? With the idea to support your mind, body, and spirit for your behaviors and goals consistent with your values system!
