"We all have our stuff." I heard a wise woman say this years ago. We might feel overwhelmed by all the expectations of life - of adulthood. We might be carrying the weight of something terrible that has happened in our lives. We might feel deeply alone - even when we are around other people. Maybe we feel out of control or lacking discipline, struggling to break habits that we know are bad for us. Whatever the case may be, you are not alone. Lots of people come to therapy. Lots of people feel much better after trying it.

All of a sudden you remember that you have to do this. That thing that is so important to get to, that you have yet to do. The thing that you don’t really want to do. If only you could put it off your head. So now you’re keeping yourself busy to avoid doing it. But the more you avoid doing it the worst you feel. Why can’t you just make yourself do it! And just like that you’re on edge again. The uneasiness will follow all day long now. Then the negative thoughts come. “Everyone will know” “I cannot fail” “What is wrong with me”. The more you think about it, the worst it gets, the worst you feel. You used to handle it on your own.

As a Latina provider, I am mindful of how our culture and upbringing can impact our sense of self and how we handle challenges. I believe in being culturally mindful and also consider how physical, social and other factors impact our mental health. I am also open to discussing your spiritual journey if you would like. My clients usually appreciate a tailored approach that incorporates the most appropriate treatment for their specific situation. As professionals, we can also get very busy but with the availability of services via Telehealth, you can easily schedule this time for yourself and your growth. Hablo Espanol!!
Dr. Faye Snyder
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
We all need to be understood and regarded, and where there are problems there have been failures to understand us, as well as our own failure to understand others and represent ourselves well. Living successfully means we have all the tools we need to try, fail and get back up and try again until we got it. It is my ability to understand that also enables me to do forensic evaluations with compassion in the area of child custody and criminal law. I don't usually take as long as other evaluators, which allows me to charge less.

My goal is to help people imagine the future they want to create and then develop a series of realistic steps to help them get there.

We are living in unprecedented times with the Coronavirus pandemic upon us. Social distancing, while necessary, takes its toll on relationships and families. There is widespread panic and fear that we need to transform into productive energy to best support one another through this crisis. We can make a difference while we stay safe for our loved ones and our communities. Talking about your own fears and anxieties and finding ways to harness them into action can help. Social distancing does not have to mean isolation. I am honored to walk with you through this and trust that we will get through this together. You are not alone.
