When to Consult an Experienced Therapist

Life can present us with many challenges and difficulties that we are unprepared to handle. Although family and friends may be supportive and desire to be helpful, they may be limited in their ability to be objective. Sometimes, it is beneficial to have the assistance of a trained licensed professional, such as an experienced therapist, to guide you through your life’s journey with its challenges and obstacles.

As your mental and couples therapy counselor, I assist you in learning about yourself and help you acquire alternative coping techniques for the problems you are facing.

Start on the Path to Healing Today

As people journey through their lives, they will face obstacles and challenges that they must overcome healthily to continue growing and moving forward. Our bodies and minds are equipped with a wonderful capacity to adapt, process, and problem-solve. Despite these rich inner resources, there are times in each person’s life when they feel stuck or unable to resolve a problem or reconcile a major change.

Perhaps they do not yet have the necessary skills to cope with a new situation, or the emotions surrounding an incident are too overwhelming to deal with alone. At these times, my services as an experienced mental and couples therapy counselor and therapist help the individual learn new skills, process a painful loss, or make self-care decisions that will lead to greater confidence and peace.

Here When You Need a Personal Therapist

There are various reasons why an individual might seek out my services as a therapist. Many seek a mental health counselor when experiencing a major life change or transition, such as a marriage, divorce, experiencing a betrayal, move, or career change. I help such individuals process the changes occurring and support them in creating a strategy or acquiring the skills to help them succeed in this new life stage.

While many people think about visiting a therapist at some point in their lives, many do not because they are unsure what to expect. Media stereotypes surrounding psychology have obscured the process that lies at the heart of the counseling process: a confidential, trusting relationship between the psychologist and the person seeking help. Meeting with a psychologist and a mental and couples therapy counselor is a rewarding first step toward creating a more harmonious and fulfilling life.
