Description
The therapeutic principles that Tom has been adhering for over 49 years: 1) Individualization: based on the right of human beings to be unique individuals and to be treated as unique. 2 ) Non-Judgemental attitude- Never pre judging people based on behaviour, race, sex , religion etc. 3) Client Self-Determination: the recognition of the right and need to make there own choices and decisions. 4) Empowerment: Celebrate and promote the client's capacity and capability to make changes and decisions themselves. I assisted 1st responders after Swiss Air 111 crash in 1998 and NYPD after 9/11.

Facility Information
Tom Massel, Clinical Social Work/Psychotherapist
Summary
Tom Massel has been a practicing clinical social worker for 50 years. I love my work which, explains why I am still providing therapy into my semi-retirement years. I believe in the all important therapeutic relationship. I congratulate my clients for making that difficult call to me, but then challenge him/her/ them to make change, explore, reflect and discover what they want to do about the issues that brought them to to counselling. I am comfortable journeying with grieving people. I have developed skills working with individuals and groups who have been traumatized.
