Humanistic Psychotherapy

Humanistic Psychotherapy is a form of psychotherapeutic practice that belongs to the broader category of existential-humanistic approaches and is distinguished by its emphasis on individual self-actualization, personal growth, and the inherent capacity for self-directed change within a phenomenologically understood, present-centered, and empathically attuned therapeutic relationship.
