In my private practice as a Clinical and Family Psychologist, I see children, adolescents, and adults. And I have extensive experience providing individual, couples and family therapy.
Among the many reasons people come to me for therapy, the following are the most common:
DEPRESSION due to low self-esteem, relationship problems, aging, illness, employment stress, a painful family history, or difficulties coping with the demands of life.
ANXIETY and NERVOUSNESS due to fear of the future, fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of not having control over your life, and fear of losing love.
PARENTING PROBLEMS due to guilt, overindulgence, fear of rejection, difficulty providing discipline or setting limits, and lack of confidence about what a parent's job should be.
RELATIONSHIP STRUGGLES due to inability to communicate effectively, conflicting personalites, not having your physical and emotional needs met, a lack of trust and intimacy, and not knowing how best to show love and caring.
IDENTITY CONFUSION due to expectations of family and friends, not knowing what makes you happy and how to achieve it, difficulty in deciding on a career or school path, not knowing who you are, what you stand for, or how to find meaning and satisfaction in life.
The important thing is to talk to a professional who can help you. Don't let fear or shame get in the way of seeking the help that will change your life and make you a happier person. When you are deciding on a therapist, look for someone with years of experience, compassion and understanding, and who makes you feel safe…someone you can trust. Hey…that’s me!! And did I mention that a good sense of humor can do wonders.
