Therapists Beginning With M in Virginia

It can be difficult and lonely going through each day feeling like there isn’t anyone that you can talk to. You continue to smile, “be happy," and put on a show for everyone because talking about your feelings is not something your family, or culture, allows and no one seems to understand. Being around others starts to feel draining and fake. However, I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to feel lonely or sacrifice your mental and emotional well-being for the sake others. Together in therapy, we can navigate through all the complexities of your feelings.

Life is often referred to as a journey, adventure, or climb. To me, the commonality in these metaphors is that in order to successfully and vibrantly navigate journies, experience adventures, and traverse climbs, support is helpful and, at times, needed along the way.

The resulting friction in the form of arguments/fights can be addressed by learning strategies to allow flexibility for growth while strengthening the foundation of your togetherness.
