Journey into Psychotherapy

WHY PSYCHOTHERAPY?

Our experiences in life – relationships, career, family, childrearing and community – bring us joy and fulfillment, but also challenges, stress and loss, even anxiety, illness and depression. As young adults and adults, when these critical life events are left unaddressed, symptoms and stresses we carry can contribute to poor health, work problems, psychological issues, unhealthy behaviors, isolation and low self-worth. Clients with these concerns, as well as professional challenges, family needs, divorce and remarriage or relationship strain, can find a therapeutic home to heal and rediscover inner resources.

WHAT IS PSYCHOTHERAPY?

Psychotherapy is a working relationship, whether virtual or in person, which clarifies changes we need to make in our relationships and our lives in order to be healthy, manage stress, and find contentment and happiness. This working relationship can take
place over the course of weeks, or months, depending on the needs of each person or partnership.

Psychotherapy offers an atmosphere of trust, support and confidentiality during life’s most trying times with warmth, compassion and caring along with a deeper understanding of our emotional development through time, our dreams and the inner working of our minds.
