Dr. O’Toole’s clinical approach is also informed by sensitivity to issues related to the client’s diversity background, inviting curiosity and exploration with the client about the potential influences of such factors on one’s sense of identity, issues of concern, areas of strength and resources, as well as possible steps for change and growth.
