    You have tried everything you could to feel better, but you’ve reached the point where you need some extra help. The anxiety, depression, and trauma that are weighing on you daily has started to impact your job or school performance and relationships. You are feeling burnt out. Therapy may be new to you and it’s common to feel nervous about starting the process. We can work together and create a plan to help you manage and decrease stress. I will teach you healthy skills to use for coping, communication, reframing thoughts, and changing behaviors. I can help you feel empowered so that you are more in control of your life

    My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy

    Anxiety is a common mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of worry, fear, and unease. It can manifest in various ways, such as panic attacks, social anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, or specific phobias. Anxiety can significantly impact a person's daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. Therapy can be highly effective in treating anxiety.

    As a therapist, I can provide a brave and non-judgmental space for you to explore your anxious thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Using therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Exposure Therapy, I can help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping strategies.

    In therapy, we can explore new relaxation techniques, mindfulness practices, and stress management skills to reduce anxiety symptoms. By understanding the root causes of your anxiety and learning to manage triggers, you can regain a sense of control and improve your overall quality of life. Through therapy, I can help you build resilience and develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your fears, and your strengths. We can explore new skills to overcome your anxiety, improve your mental well-being, and lead a more fulfilling life. https:www.mountainstherapy.com

    Why Going to Therapy Does Not Mean You are Weak or Flawed

    Taking the step to begin therapy is an act of strength, courage, and self-awareness. It's important to recognize that seeking support does not equate to weakness; rather, it signifies a commitment to your well-being and growth. While there may be lingering societal stigmas surrounding therapy, it's crucial to understand that seeking help is a sign of empowerment, not deficiency. By embracing therapy, you're demonstrating a willingness to confront challenges, gain insights, and cultivate resilience. You deserve the opportunity to thrive, and therapy can be a transformative journey towards a healthier, more fulfilling life. Take the first step today and embark on a path of self-discovery and healing.
