Supporting a higher quality of life Treatment Philosophy I am a licensed psychologist with 27 years of experience providing counseling and therapy to children, adolescents, adults and families. I use a short-term approach to therapy, helping individuals, groups and families identify, access and utilize their OWN strengths and resources to achieve the outcome they are seeking. I believe that all people carry within themselves the capacity for solving their life's challenges. My purpose at THE INNER RESOURCE CENTER is to help clients develop and utilize their internal and external resources to achieve a higher quality of life. I will help you to determine what you want your life to be like, and to set goals for yourself to achieve your desired outcome. The focus of therapy is on reaching those goals, and on finding effective and manageable solutions to your problems or challenges. As your therapist, I can't magically make your problems disappear, but I will provide you with ideas, resources and alternative ways to help you reach your goals. I'll give you feedback about your journey, and encourage you along the way. You may make big changes or small changes, and on the way to your goals you may develop healthier patterns of living which will help you prevent future problems. Do not fear life's challenges. Instead embrace them as opportunities for growth and pathways to discovering a higher quality of life. --Linda S. Pucci, Ph.D.-- Types of Issues Treated:

Exciting change begins to happen in the process of taking action and discovering your resources! A coach can
