My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy
In my eyes, therapy can be a challenging and rewarding journey. This deeply personal and individual experience is a process of personal wellness exploration. Therapy can help with many life concerns, from improving mental health symptoms and learning coping tools, to formulating and executing many types of goals, to achieving overall happiness and balance. At every stage in life and for every person, therapy can be useful. Often, there is a stigma attached to therapy that holds people back from coming in; the idea that therapy means you are "sick." This idea is based around a period of time when therapy was more pathologically based. The reality is today, however, that a perfectly healthy individual can benefit from therapy. At it's most basic level, it's about human connection and support, and the wonderful benefits of having a shoulder to lean on when things get complicated, or an unbiased person to bounce ideas off of. My focus on also providing psycho-education around why you might be struggling with certain symptoms sets my practice apart from others.
