Coming into therapy is a bold move, usually preceded by trying other things first to address the problem(s). I’m curious about those things, and what examination of those efforts might do to reveal your own strengths in problem solving. I’m also curious about who matters to you, and what those relationships are like; how they provide support on a day to day basis, and during times of high stress. Perhaps exploring these topcis together can assist in establishing a positive direction for change, and add and ally for making those changes.
