I work with clients who might feel anxious, depressed or highly stressed. It could be related to different areas of your life or trauma related. During initial sessions, I will use psychoeducation in order to understand how changing your thinking can impact in your life in a positive way. People improve the way they feel after a few sessions, providing there's commitment to treatment.
