Anxiety Therapists in Lehigh County, PA

First, let me talk to you as a person. Fit is everything. As a recovering people-pleaser, I want to tell you that I can help anyone. But - the reality is that the clients I've worked with that have the most expansive growth tend to mirror the most painful human flaws I've found in myself. They are - Not valuing myself and my feelings enough - Staying in relationships way too long, and where I'm not seen - Squandering precious energy in perfectionism, control, or achievement (when I'm really just seeking connection and fulfillment).
