Behind every struggle lies a story
that is waiting to be told.
Therapy creates a safe space where you can learn to tell the story behind your struggles and explore your thoughts, feelings, actions and dreams. Being able to find words to match your experience and have someone witness that moment is a transformative process that leads to relief and greater self-awareness.
The process of increasing self-awareness is a liberating one as it expands our coordinates within time and space. We are no longer caught in the oppressive present of a feeling, a thought or a behavior but we expand our consciousness by traveling back in the past to allow the past to be past, which in turn frees us to dream of a future.
Do you feel like you’re disconnected from yourself?
Do you feel stuck/paralyzed and confused by your choices?
Does it seem like you don’t have a way of understanding your needs and/or expressing your wants?
Are you feeling anxious, depressed, or angry altogether, and you don’t know why?
Are you feeling uncomfortable in your own skin?
Do you feel that you neglect your own self while taking care of others?

I thought:
What is?
What was?
And
What if?
