Every day seems overwhelming, and often finding a few minutes to focus on your own needs seems impossible, it can feel as if you may never be happy again. Some days it takes everything you have to get through the day, and you wonder, "is this the best my life is going to be?" In the morning it takes all that you have to get out of bed, and at night, you lay awake, unable to sleep, due to worry, fear, and feeling things are just hopeless. It can be scary to reach out to a counselor, you just want to find someone who understands and doesn't judge. Experiencing depression or anxiety is nothing to be ashamed of, it isn't your fault.

As a parent it can be so frustrating to feel lost when it comes to handling your child’s emotional outbursts or difficulty staying focused throughout the day. When these behaviors occur frequently in a child’s life, whether due to ADHD, anxieties, or difficulty handling big emotions, children can begin to feel like something is wrong with them, that they can never do anything right. Maybe your teen is struggling with worry or anxiety, feeling exhausted by the pressure of school or perhaps a history of trauma. Seeing their pain causes parents to feel weighed down by guilt.
