Therapists in Ardsley On Hudson, NY

人生就像一个大礼包；当我们打开它的时候，有些东西是我们想要的，有些东西是我们不想要的。有些时候，我们的人生非常精彩；而有些时候，即便我们不想要，我们的人生可能经历很大的摧折，往我们从未想象过的方向发展（例如，遭遇事故）。人生的智慧，在这些让人心碎的情况下，就取决于我们做的决定：是被我们的情绪所左右，在痛苦的河流中无法自拔（例如，抑郁症）；或者带着人生给与我们的痛苦，继续往前迈步，为我们自身的未来创造机会。重要的是，我认为，这样的人生智慧，都存在于我们每个人心中。如果你允许我进入你的生活，我希望可以加入你的旅途，帮助你找到心中的智慧，联结你的人生价值，学会面对生活中的困难，同时追求对于你有意义的人生。

Therapy is often a place of navigating change. You may be coping with a transitional period of your life, or you may be trying to make changes but don’t know where to start. You might start questioning who you are, where you’re going, and how you can possibly get there. Life gets overwhelming as everything seems to attack you all at once. Relationships never seem to work out. Productivity and self care is a never-ending balancing act. Anxiety and fear prevent you from becoming the best version of yourself. The things that have helped you survive or protected you from pain in the past may now be holding you back, or vice versa.
