Therapy is a process of self-discovery. You learn more about your strengths, connect with your inner wisdom, and recognize your resilient nature. I support you in gently moving through unresolved issues from the past. Together we establish new ways of coping with current challenges and lay the foundation for you to function at your best. Our wounds may not be our fault; however, healing is our responsibility.

Life can be bright and beautiful with moments of joy and laughter, peace and calm. But life can also throw us curve balls that disrupt our moments of smooth sailing. You likely know what I am talking about--riding the roller coaster of hurtful experiences, illness, broken relationships, loss, grief, tragedy, a pandemic--the various challenges in life that can end in psychological suffering. In your suffering, you may feel overwhelmed by your distress, not knowing how to cope daily or move forward in life. This is a tough place to be in, but humans are resilient, and you can learn new ways of responding to life's difficulties.

School Issues (Academic Underachievement, Academic Counseling) Therapists
Students underachieve in school for a variety of reasons. Motivational problems, ADHD, and learning disabilities can all be a challenge to any parent. Child therapists, child psychologists, or school psychologists in 28031 can help to assess a child's needs and offer much needed help.

Academic counselors in 28031 help with learning issues, child education issues or ADD (attention deficit). They can work with academic underachievers who are quite bright, gifted and intelligent, as well as with children with developmental disabilities (i.e. disabilities students). Additionally, 28031 Therapists work with nonverbal learning disabilities, cognitive disabilities, and reading difficulties.

Children with problems at school, or who are failing at school in 28031 all have specific and unique instructional needs. A good 28031 academic counselor or school counselor will provide the individualized attention and support a student needs to succeed.

How can I tell if a therapist is right for me?
Therapists in 28031 are able to work with a wide range of issues and communities, including the BIPOC community in 28031. They offer in person sessions as well as Teletherapy in 28031

For example, if you're seeking a marriage counselor in 28031 you'll find that most therapists are trained in marriage counseling or couples counseling in 28031 and couples therapy. And they welcome families for family counseling in 28031 or family therapy in 28031.
