Life Coaching Therapists in Lancaster, PA

"My mental health has taken a turn for the worst, but I’m the one who helps other people. I handle my issues on my own.” Sound like you? If so, depression and anxiety can often show up when we are constantly stressed with unhealthy relationships & boundaries. We feel guilty about asking for help, so we say we’re “fine”—and almost believe it— but when we hide our issues, we can find ourselves drinking more to cope, experiencing anxiety attacks from the overwhelm, and/or contemplating ending it all. What you're experiencing is evidence that we need to face some hidden issues, so that you can find freedom and balance in your life .
