Clinical Approach
“Well-being cannot exist just in your own head. Well-being is a combination of feeling good as well as actually having meaning, good relationships and accomplishment.”
-Martin Seligman, PhD
The father of Positive Psychology, Dr. Martin Seligman once wrote, “Well-being cannot exist just in your own head. Well-being is a combination of feeling good as well as actually having meaning, good relationships and accomplishment.” If you are ready to start a path towards actualized well-being, together, we will work towards feeling better, finding meaning, having positive relationships and accomplishment.
