The person-centered approach was developed by Carl Rogers, emphasizes the therapist’s role as being empathic, open, honest, congruent, and caring as he or she listens in depth and facilitates the growth of the individual or group. This philosophy incorporates the belief that each individual has worth, dignity, and the capacity for self-direction. Carl Roger’s philosophy is based on a trust in an inherent impulse toward growth in every individual. By genuinely hearing the depth of the emotional pain and respecting the individual’s ability to find her own answer, we are giving her the greatest gift. Empathy and acceptance give the individual the opportunity to empower and discover unique potential.
