The choice to attend therapy is difficult. It’s the chance to overcome personal issues, but it also means having to face those issues. You might feel self-conscious about seeing a therapist. What does it say about me, that I’m entering therapy? In my opinion, it’s a wise and brave choice. It’s a decision that will help you overcome obstacles and allow you to reach your potential. I am a clinical social worker who has been practicing psychotherapy for over 10 years, and I'm sure I can help you.Please note - a delay of up to 3 weeks before live video sessions are available. Audio/text message is available.
