Seeing a counselor or a therapist
You're probably wondering what it is like to see a therapist if you are pursuing therapy for the first time. Or you might be entering into therapy after previous experiences with the process. Either way, you may be concerned if I'm someone who can help. I have over a decade of experience in helping people achieve their goals and have experience and training in assisting individuals and families overcome life's obstacles. Please, feel free to call me and we can discuss your questions and more.
I'm happy to discuss your issues prior to any office visit to mutually determine if we're right for each other. Of course, this is all in the utmost of confidentiality. Take a positive step today!
Good Mental Health
Physical, emotional and environmental wellness all factor into one's mental health. Many issues can contribute to challenges with mental health including situational stressors such as loss, relationship conflicts, employment struggles and life transitions. In addition to these stressors, some people struggle with issues from childhood or unhealthy patterns that sabotage their relationships. For many, there are also physical stressors such as chronic pain or a chemical imbalance. I am well equipped to assess your needs in a diagnostic interview and refer, as needed, to my colleagues.
