They say, "The first step in always the hardest". Although this is true in many circumstances, it is especially true when it comes to seeking therapy.

My clients are the type to do things perfectly, yet their best never feels good enough. They often find themselves grappling with anxiety in trying to make the “right” decision in many aspects of their life. My clients also want the best for the world. They can easily care for others yet often forget to care for themselves. Life can feel daunting when you carry the weight of the world and push your needs aside. But it doesn't have to be this way. By working together, you can learn to let go of your inner critic and self doubt, and find a self outside of achievements and the expectations of others. Website: www.jessicavtherapy.com
