The past few years have undoubtedly taken a toll on people, and families' emotional and mental health. The effects are evident, but not irreversible. Circumstances have changed our mood, how we react, interact and cope with the world and those around us. Family, intimate, personal, and work relationships have been affected. Coping skills that have worked in the past, may no longer serve us well, and could be hindering our overall health, happiness, contentment and wellbeing.

You’ve had enough of the stress. You've been trying to hold everything in but the littlest thing pushes you over the edge and after it's all over you are exhausted. You know you don't want to keep living this way and want to move forward with your life but you feel stuck! No one really understand everything you've been through. The trauma you've been through makes it hard to just function and be around other people. You try to push it away and have some normalcy but the triggers make it impossible. Your world becomes small in hopes that you can avoid these feelings but it only makes things worse. You are stuck in a vicious cycle.

The decision to seek mental health support takes a lot of courage. Growth happens through our vulnerability. Depression, anxiety, trauma can feel overwhelming at times. You may find yourself wondering if you will ever feel OK? Maybe you feel like you've tried everything and continue to struggle with anxious feelings and depressed mood. You want to get through these challenging days, but find yourself stuck. It can be hard to seek therapy because you're unsure if it will help. You want to find the right therapist that will meet you where you are, and help guide your healing process.
