You may not feel certain whether you should seek therapy. Or may feel embarrassed. Please know you are not the only one who feels this way. Here are some questions for you to consider: Are you experiencing conflict or tension with family or work? Are various feelings surfacing and affecting your thoughts or functioning? Do you feel alone or have negative reactions to happy pictures on social media? Do you feel overwhelmed with setting and meeting personal, school or business goals? Have you felt as if you want to disappear? You are welcome to reach out for a chat to see whether we will be a good fit.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20+ years of experience. I believe in a strength based approach as each of us have various skills and capabilities to pull from as each person responds to different methods and approaches. Together, we will discover or confirm what your internal and emotional strengths are and continue building from there.
It is important to know that it takes time to unbundle the mix of thoughts and emotions that make up who you are. You can anticipate moments of discomfort during therapy when you will want to quit. It takes courage to acknowledge then work through areas where we are stuck.
