Melt The Ice by Marsha D. Stonehill

For Referring Providers:

• I follow a Bio-Psycho-Social Model
• With written consent from the patient, I prefer team communication to maximize outcomes.
• I work from a philosophy that the individual seeking treatment is the most essential key in the decision making of them moving into wellness.  In other words, their confidence and buy in into the treatment recommendations will be fully respected.  I seek to educate about treatment choices/options and respect any decision made by the individual.
