For the past 30 years I've worked at major academic hospitals in NYC where I've gained expertise in working with a multitude of individuals with various issues, some of which are the diagnosis of a new illness, divorce, children leaving home, aging, loss.
Are you feeling anxious, sad and alone? Do you feel overwhelmed by your issues and stuck in your present situation? Do you you need support to help guide you through these issues so that you can be in a better place? I had a client with similar issues. She was 63 years old who lost her job due to downsizing. She was also divorced. Many of her friends left and the ones she had were not supportive. She was always a career person working as an Assistant Director of Human Resources. Since her job was terminated, she felt no one would hire her again and she felt worthless.
