Kenshō Psychology draws inspiration from the Zen Buddhist concept of "kenshō", meaning "a glimpse of one's true nature”. Kenshō is a powerful metaphor for the therapeutic journey. It reflects the idea that true healing and transformation comes from within and that the therapist's role is to support the client in uncovering their own inner truth and wisdom. By integrating the concept of kenshō into therapy, Dr. Dill can help clients not just manage symptoms but achieve a deeper level of self-understanding and fulfillment, leading to lasting change and well-being.

Dr. Dill employs evidence-based treatments within a holistic and integrative framework, combining a collaborative and warm approach with techniques that foster curiosity and non-judgmental awareness.
