One of the things I have found particularly important for individuals and families in our rural community is their need for privacy and confidentiality. Subsequently, each professional psychologist is then required to complete one year of supervised post-doctoral training before he or she is licensed to practice psychology in Wyoming. This amounts to about ten years of training. The point is that our staff psychologists are committed to helping others and feel the opportunity to help another person is a privilege, one that has been earned by long years of study. If this were the case, there would be little need to have ten years of training about the complexities of human nature in order to understand such a straightforward solution.
People are complex, very complex.
As such, their concerns and difficulties tend to be complex, very complex. And straightforward solutions sometimes are not able to meet the challenge of solving complex and multifaceted concerns. Each individual is uniquely multifaceted and often may be confused or feel overwhelmed for good reason. The key to helping our prospective consumers revolves around the fact that there is just that, a good reason for the confusion, tension, depression, or unrealized goals that people sometimes face. However, it is the individual's choice as to whether or not working with a professional can and will occur.
