At the heart of Xavier's treatment philosophy lies a deep commitment to walking alongside clients on their healing journey. He takes pride in being a strong advocate for his clients' needs, crafting individualized treatment plans that honor each person's unique story. His Integrative-Psychodynamic approach views each client through a developmental lens, exploring how past experiences shape present choices while incorporating effective techniques from Family Systems and Cognitive-Behavioral Theory.
