Have you tried to reach out for help before but been discouraged when you were told it would be 6 weeks until an appointment? I know the feeling, and I never want that to be someone's experience with me. I can usually see you within 10 days, depending on your availability of course, but I am committed to getting you seen quickly because I know by the time you're here, you are ready to get started. If you've been struggling with not feeling like yourself, your next steps in life, difficult relationships and/or just feeling "stuck," I can help you.
