I use solution-focused therapy using CBT, DBT, and MI.
Have you been feeling worried, anxious, or stressed lately? Do you feel unmotivated or isolated? Are you finding that you're not coping in a healthy way by drinking too much or overusing drugs? Do you think you’ll never be “good enough”? Many people experience these, and it can lead to issues with relationships, work, school, or health. Talking with someone in a non-judgmental, neutral, and confidential space allows one to “unload” and find solutions, if necessary. Therapy is a great way to practice self-care and give yourself time and attention to the things only you want to focus on.
