Comments from Dr Sauer about the therapeutic process: My general goal is to help my clients gain an understanding of why they are who they are (why they act how they act, why they feel like they do), and then, if they want to change, I help to guide them towards their identified goals. My approach is collaborative: the client is the expert on him- or herself, while I provide the expertise on how to create change. Change might include an increase in self-esteem, or self-acceptance, an increase in self-understanding, or an elimination of unhealthy behaviors or patterns.
