At MACS, we recognize that our therapists—like our clients—experience change as part of their personal and professional journeys. These transitions reflect the same process of closure and renewal that occurs within the therapeutic relationship itself. We embrace this process with gratitude and respect, honoring the growth that comes from each chapter and the shared work along the way.
