Create a more meaningful life based on who you are and what you desire.
Change your life for the better.
If these sound true for you, I want you to know that you might feel embarrassed to open up about what you’re really going through, even to family and friends. Therapy provides a non-judgmental space for you to talk freely about what’s bothering you. It's not selfish to prioritize caring for yourself. You don't have to always prioritize work or your family’s needs over your own needs.
