It is Dr. Goschi's belief that people can change when they confront those aspects of themselves that tend to impede growth. Treatment can help the client(s) identify unproductive and/or habitual patterns and replace them with more adaptive means for dealing with conflict. Life, in general, can be extremely stressful. Conflicts at the office and relationships with extended family or within our nuclear family can make our lives feel out of control.

When confronted with conflict producing stress, anxiety, anger or depression an individual may resort to destructive coping styles. For example, some such destructive styles might include overeating, substance abuse, emotional or social isolation, rageful outbursts, obsessive thoughts and behaviors, or simply the inability to express oneself effectively. Through identification and open expression of one's feelings, the individual(s) can safely explore their fears and, at times, reluctance to change.

Each individual possesses strengths from which he or she can draw upon. At times of despair, that same individual may not realize that he or she can access that strength. Instead, the person may only be aware of a particular weakness or vulnerability. It is often a persons own fears that keep him or her feeling stuck. An empathic and supportive relationship can assist an individual(s) in regaining control and allowing him or her to be the best and most productive person they can be.

Counseling can be the first and best step a person can take in becoming the individual he or she has always wanted to be. Dr. Goschi is a warm and interactive therapist who is willing to work hard with her clients in order to help them grow. She believes that people can change when they are motivated and are provided with competent direction.
