By approaching clients with a counseling attitude that encourages the client's full participation in the treatment process, we then work together in partnership and as a powerful team.
The content, techniques, and exercises withinCounseling in Communication Disordersare rooted in evidence-based practice from a variety of psychological, counseling, and coaching approaches, such as Humanistic Counseling, Listening and Language, Narrative Therapy, The Cognitive Behavioral Model (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Positive Psychology, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), and Mindfulness training.
