Therapy (a.k.a., counseling or psychotherapy) is the treatment of mental or emotional problems. It is, essentially, used to help individuals, couples, or families reach their recognized version of "normal". Therapy clients are looking for RECOVERY. This could include (but not limited to) recovery from depression, anxiety, anger, behavior problems in children, and self-esteem problems. If necessary, the past and present may both be addressed to aid in healing. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I will utilize a cognitive-behavioral approach to help you reduce your symptoms and replace them with coping skills that can help you evolve instead of escape.
TALKING ALONE DOES NOT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS! However, talking with a trained professional who will help you take action does. I have been a licensed therapist for over 15 years. I have helped a wide variety of clients with an even wider variety of problems take hold of their lives. Now, with the addition of my coaching experience, I can help you get back to "normal" more quickly.
I, once, struggled with depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem as you may do now. I do not want anyone to suffer for one minute longer than they have been already. I have the experience, training, and attitude to help you understand and conquer your symptoms and replace them with effective coping skills. After you reach out for help, the only work required is emotional work. If you can open your mind to the possibility of change, then it will happen.
