A Message to Future Clients

ROBERT J. WINGFIELD, PHD, LP

"Every client is a V.I.C." - RJW

VERY IMPORTANT CLIENT

Every client is considered a V.I.C. in my eyes. This stands for Very Important Client. Each client is unique and has something special to offer to others. I know that you will be more consistent with living according to your values and experience more fulfillment as you make progress with your behavioral health goals.

STRENGTHS-BASED-APPROACH

It's a great honor to offer behavioral health services that are specially tailored to address areas that are important to you. During the initial evaluation, your strengths will be identified before your weaknesses. Understanding your strengths an knowing how to use them is an important component of elevating wellness.

DATA DRIVEN DECISION MAKING

I encourage clients to collect data on their target behaviors throughout treatment. I am interested in measuring the intensity, frequency, and duration of symptoms. I also like tracking the utilization of replacement behaviors that I'll ask you to implment between your sessions with me.

NO JUDGMENT

It is vital that clients understand that no matter what you're going through, I will not judge you.  Opening up may be uncomfortable initially but you will certainly benefit in the long run. It is my professional obligation and moral responsibility to treat each client with dignity regardless of their issues.

RESEARCH & PUBLICATION

    TEAMWORK

    I consider the journey to reaching behavioral health goals to be a team effort. Together we will combine our respective forms of expertise to solve both straightforward and complicated issues that you're experiencing.  The hard work will payoff!
