This in turn affects our outlook, thoughts, mood, choices, and relationships.

In 2023, adolescents face many pressures that adults have never experienced. Social media has created an environment that forces children and adults alike to be constantly "on", creating a level of anxiety that is unparalleled.

Therapy should not be a last ditch effort to save one's relationships - it should be consistent maintenance of oneself.
