Alone. It's how so many of us feel inside. You may be unseen by others for who you really are, be unmotivated or anxious about the future, be suffering through loss or illness, or be stuck in relationships or situations that aren't working. We struggle through, surviving but not thriving, caught up in a limiting narrative about our lives, coping in ways that help us feel safe but often leave us tired and isolated. It's tempting to stay in survival mode and just "get through it," hoping circumstances might change, when you can't see another way.

Are you seeking a culturally sensitive therapist who will not make stereotypical assumptions, but will honor your unique story, history and journey? Have you been told that therapy is for the weak or for those whose faith is not strong enough? Are you looking for a place where you can feel safe enough to say everything you need to without feeling as though you need to take care of the therapist?
