Weight Loss Therapists in L4J

If you're a Millennial trying to make it, I understand what it is like to be the new lost generation. The world of work, the realities of dating + marriage, financial pressures and societal + parental expectations can make life overwhelming. Goals and dreams may seem out of reach or even impossible. Do you feel that life is an uphill battle? Or maybe, you are just going through the motions of life, but there is a lack of meaning and joy? I'm here to listen and guide you through exploring your own inner conflicts, ways of being, identity and aspirations.

Mindfulness based psychotherapy is a powerful approach to healing that is based on the ancient wisdom of how to work with our own minds. Mindfulness is defined by paying attention, with intention, in the present moment, without judgment. Clients who practice mindfulness skills share that their lives are more positive, they have an enhanced sense of well-being and better relationships all around. In Mindfulness Psychotherapy, I work with clients to support their development of moment-by-moment awareness by teaching a variety of skills and techniques, which will aid in their development.
