Yes, reading through all these profiles is a lot. Listen, you already know that something is wrong, you already know it's a cycle, and you already know that something has to change. So, you don't need me to tell you that. The question is how long are you going to continue to act like nothing is wrong or pretend as if you don't have a problem? You can't even stop doing the thing you said you would the last time. It could be weed/vape, sex, porn, alcohol etc. How many relationships are you going to sacrifice before you wake up and realize you need to talk to somebody? You are not those things. Let's fix what's really wrong.
What we need to do is figure out the root cause/s of your issues. It starts with you first. By utilizing my spiritually based integrated counseling skills, together, we can take a look into your situation, see what's going on, and formulate a plan to get you or loved one back on track.
As a BIack man, I do hope to change the way that some black and brown people view therapy. Because, our mental health matters too. However, I also know that you have to be ready. So, If YOU are ready to do the work and you’re serious about getting started, don’t hesitate to reach out to me today. Right here on Psychology Today. Let’s do this!
