Are you going through situations you’re not sure how to respond to? Are there days you need direction, or someone to confide in openly—someone who will ask you the hard questions? Most days you feel exhausted, not quite like yourself. You've wanted to get out of that downward spiral, find healing or discover a happier you. Therapy could be the path to where you want to be. Your days feel like a routine without purpose and motivation? get the kids dressed, eat, household chores, work, play with the kids, school work, sleep…task after task? And maybe throw in a self-help book, or at least glance at it over on your nightstand?
