I recently expanded my practice, adding two clinicians to better serve those looking for therapy. At Guiding Steps Psychotherapy, our mission is to help people heal from trauma and other adverse life experiences, anxiety, and depression. We work with survivors of sexual abuse/assault, those who have experienced traumatic loss from death or infidelity, individuals suffering from addiction, and others working through traumatic adjustments such as loss of a job or severe illness. I also counsel couples working to improve their relationships, those discerning their futures, and others contemplating separation or divorce

You feel like you are not where you should be in life, like other people have it figured out, but you have not. You have a wall up that is meant to protect you, but instead, makes friendships or relationships difficult. You may even find yourself sabotaging so others never find out what’s behind the wall. This may be from a traumatic event or a life-time of trauma where you felt like you were just trying to survive. Sometimes it’s hard to trust yourself to make decisions or trust that other people really like you. You try to distract yourself, but you keep finding yourself back in your own head feeling lost.

For some of us, the challenges around managing our stress, anxiety, and feelings of depression seem extraordinary. Life's challenges can feel dark, heavy, or even impossible to deal with sometimes. Maybe you are experiencing negative and intense mood swings. Maybe you are finding it difficult to carry on at school or work. Maybe you are having trouble connecting with others and are experiencing conflict in your relationships. You might feel inadequate, hopeless, fearful, anxious, and stressed. If this sounds true to you, I want you to know that even though you may feel alone, you are Not.
