Description: "Because Native Americans in general may be doubtful of the effectiveness of therapy, the main goal at first is to instill trust. To do this, Dr. Simms recommends that the therapist be client-centered: The client needs to know that his or her story is valuable and will be heard. To this end, the therapist might look at therapy in a slightly different way, as a gift exchange, where the client gives his or her story, and the therapist gives the gift of listening."--Website.
