Look, we all can agree on one thing in this day and age: the struggle is real. In a world that is fast-paced and overworked, we often forget to process what is happening externally and how it is affecting us internally. And if we don't have the right tools to handle big stressors or major life events, it can be even more difficult to deal with what comes our way. Whatever your struggle is, I'm here to help.

You are not alone in your journey to feel better, mentally and physically. Are you experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, stress or feelings of fear that are holding you back? Symptoms of PTSD? Feeling depressed, overwhelmed or unmotivated? Do you have unresolved trauma? Have you experienced abuse? Difficult or unfulfilling relationships? I specialize in helping clients identify problem areas in their lives and formulate goals to improve them. We will work to eliminate any self limiting and sabotaging beliefs patterns and you will acquire coping skills, strategies and resources to succeed. Healing and thriving is possible!

Sometimes, life can be difficult to navigate, and you just need someone with whom to process all that is going on inside of you. You may be struggling with your faith journey or with relating to your children, your partner, or your parents. You might be asking scary questions about your own identity, including gender or sexuality. You may have teens who need an adult outside of their network to provide a listening and nonjudgmental ear, or someone just to bring perspective. You might be failing to maintain focus on what matters in life and need some emotional support to live the life you always hoped you would live.

What all of my clients have in common is a desire to be self-reflective (even though this may be scary), to learn more about themselves at a deeper (unconscious) level, and to grow in ways that allow them to have the life and relationships for which their hearts yearn. Psychotherapy is a process of learning to listen to, care for and heal the pained parts of ourselves that burden our mind, body, heart and spirit. Including the body in this process is essential, as it carries our pain. This is not always easy, but is certainly self-empowering and life-changing.

Do you feel like you’re running yourself ragged trying to make everyone else happy? Like you don’t know who you are outside of others’ expectations? I work with people who are struggling with identity in different ways. Some feel like their identity was lost to abuse or to a bigger personality in the house. Others are recovering from losing who they are because of a traumatic experience that seemed to change them forever. Still others do not feel like their true identity is within the body they were born in.

Entering psychotherapy is one of the most important decisions a person can make in life, requiring courage, humility and a powerful desire to resolve one's difficulties and become the person you want to be.

I intend to earn your trust, make you feel comfortable and offer a personalized approach to psychotherapy. Please visit my website to learn more about me. (johnboydphd.com)
