What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

What I love the most about being a psychotherapist is the amazing honor and privilege of speaking into people's lives everyday and seeing the positive influence that it has. I love encouraging people. When you think about the word encourage, it means to help give someone courage. I see it as helping people have courage to step away from unhealthy,sometimes destructive mindsets and have the courage to release those to develop new healthy ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.
I see so much healing, change, and positive outcomes with my clients. When I see my clients succeed, I have succeeded!

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

Going to see a therapist definitely does not mean that you are weak or flawed in any way. People often like to come to therapy as a means of self discovery. Many people come to therapy for self improvement including professionals, athletes, CEO's and celebrities. Having a therapist is like having your very own personal mentor to assist you with navigating through the obstacles of life, setting goals and monitoring your progress. In summary, therapy is all about bringing out the best you possible!
