Family and individual development has been a central theme in my work since beginning a social work career in 1967. For many years, I practiced within an agency. A focus on how best to support families coping with challenges after adoption characterized my last agency years. Since 1998, I have had a private counseling practice: Adoption Conversations. In 2013, I joined with two former colleagues to open Dothan Brook Associates on Route 5 in Wilder, VT. My counseling work is now generalized to helping children, adolescents, adults, and families seeking to understand themselves and improve their relationships or their functioning. Each situation prompting a call for help is different. Brief therapy is sometimes the best approach; longer term work is what makes sense for others. Goal setting with clients establishes a direction for our work, and provides an avenue for assessing the value of the time we spend together. I help clients find their strengths even as they look deeply at the sadness, frustrations, and disappointments they experience in some of their roles or stage of life. My counseling is grounded in the trust and hopefulness that clients bring to the therapeutic process.
