Decades of experience have convinced me that "a stitch in time saves nine." This is particularly so because I maintain the flexibility to spend enough time with you in the first session for us to accomplish most of these six steps:

1. Get a picture of the good points, strengths, and internal and external resources as building-blocks for progress.

2. Define the problems or concerns.

3. Learn how you or your family have been trying to deal with these concerns so far (i.e., what attempted solutions have not been working to your satisfaction).

4. Discuss what you would like to have different as a result of therapy.

5. Decide together in what order to work on your goals.

6. Develop a plan.

We will work together to:

	Build on your strengths
	Define your concerns
	Set specific goals
	Develop new actions
	Explore feelings, options, criteria to clarify difficult decisions
