If you're feeling anxious, nervous, restless, or worried, or struggling with low mood, trouble concentrating, or sleeping, I want you to know that I'm here to help. These feelings are more common than you might think, and there's no shame in reaching out for support.
I offer a range of evidence-based therapeutic methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, and more. Together, we can work to find the source of your feelings and develop strategies to decrease them, so you can start living a more fulfilling life.
I understand that reaching out for help can be challenging, and I want to applaud you for taking the first step. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where you feel heard and supported. Together, we can tailor our approach to meet your unique needs and preferences and develop strategies that can help you.
Take the first step to help. Call or Desirae Giraldes now - (619) 853-3568
