You’re ready to understand why you feel like this. Perhaps you are dealing with recent life changes, family struggles, or relationship issues. You wonder if these feelings are temporary or normal, but regardless, you are ready to explore change. Maybe your relationships are not satisfying you, but you do not know where to start the repairing process. Perhaps you struggle with self-criticism and self-doubt. You want support and want to learn how to voice and address your needs, but at times it feels impossible. You know you can feel fulfilled, but you find it challenging to develop tools that will help you get where you want to be.

Exploring change can feel so “big” and overwhelming, leading you to avoid the process. I specialize in helping individuals navigate life & unlocking their true potential. Together, we can explore how your experiences have led you to this point.From there we can explore the challenges you face & the vision you have for moving forward confidently in your life.

In therapy with me, you will feel validated, heard, and most importantly,you will be seen. You will have someone to explore all of life’s questions and what change looks like for you. You have so much potential to live the life you’ve always wanted, so let’s explore what barriers we can break down together to help create this life that you want for yourself.

Men's Support Group

Hosted by

Andrea Watkins

This group is for adult men. As men, we are often given the message that emotions and vulnerability make us weak. Much of the time we learn to create surface level relationships and struggle to communicate what we are actually feeling in an authentic way. In this group, you will be supported by other men with similar challenges. The intention of the group is to help members gain awareness of their own patterns that interfere with relationships and create a space to authentically connect with emotions and vulnerability. Contact us today to sign up for your free screening appointment.
