In a world that is drowning in sensationalism, personal meaning and inner satisfaction is something that has been lost within the external chaos. The greatest satisfaction I have experienced comes from being able to determine the best way for my own individual story to move forward and stepping into that with a little faith.
Now I’m hoping you can do the same.
Previously I’ve worked with men struggling with co-occurring disorders, with a community mental health agency, and a halfway house for men right out of the prison system. I myself have spent years in therapy, doing my own work. Now I’m running my own private practice, doing in-person and virtual sessions.
We won’t know each other to begin with, we’ll begin this journey as strangers. Generally, this process takes months. Just like going to the gym 2-3 times will only leave you confused and sore, the same is true here. This will take a moment. However, over time we’ll learn how to cultivate a renewed ability to navigate the obstacles in front of you. I’m excited to come alongside you as you continue forward with your own journey!
Finding the right therapist is a lot like trying on a pair of shoes- there might be nothing wrong with that pair of shoes, but I won’t be caught dead wearing those.
Many people ask what to expect when beginning the process of therapy, however, therapy itself is an entirely original experience depending on who is with you in that process. Each relationship you have within your life is entirely original depending on who surrounds you. The same will be true of your relationship with your therapist. Take some time and figure out what therapist is the right fit for you.
Interview your therapist! Figure out if they offer the right type of space to grow into your personalized goals. There are dozens of different styles of therapy and therapy shouldn’t be painful, in and of itself. Take a minute and look at your options!
