      <image:caption>We know you’re tired of living this way. At Aspire Counseling, our therapists believe you deserve counseling that works. All of our therapists are specialized and highly trained. We regularly devote time and energy in attending specialized trainings, reading books and consulting with others. This isn’t “treatment as usual.” Why? Because, we believe in offering treatment that works. We believe you deserve to be fully seen as an individual &amp; to be offered therapy interventions that will really, truly work. Your relationship with your therapist is one of equals. You &amp; your therapist work together to balance these three things when panning your care: the best available research, the clinical expertise of the therapist and YOUR values, priorities and wishes as the client. When all three of these things are present, we call this evidence based treatment.</image:caption>
