Therapists in Chittenango, NY

This therapy process applies to the various client systems I work with, which include individuals, children, adolescents, couples, and family systems.

Life is hard. Time flies by and you often feel you no longer can keep up with daily life. You feel like you aren’t being your authentic self and have no time left for you by the end of the day. Everyone else’s needs come first and you have difficulty saying no or setting limits that feel good. Your relationships struggle. Your emotions often feel out of control and unmanageable. Loved ones make comments that you’re too “sensitive” or “dramatic”. Your daily life is suffering and you no longer know how to reach your goals, you may no longer even know what your goals are. You just know you’re unhappy and something needs to change.
