"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." ~ Maya Angelou

​

As we embark on our journey, our lived experiences leave transformative remnants that sometimes have to be further explored in order to establish healthier selves. 

​

Individual therapy provides tools for you to dig deeper, self- explore, identify boundaries, and enhance coping skills. People are not things and cannot be fixed.  However, we can evolve as we make effort to reach consistent zen.

 

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness [NAMI], some signs that may warrant therapy include:

• Excessive worrying or fear

• Feeling excessively sad or low

• Confused thinking or problems concentrating and learning

• Extreme mood changes, including uncontrollable “highs” or feelings of euphoria

• Prolonged or strong feelings of irritability or anger

• Avoiding friends and social activities

• Difficulties understanding or relating to other people

• Changes in sleeping habits or feeling tired and low energy

• Changes in eating habits such as increased hunger or lack of appetite

• Changes in sex drive

• Difficulty perceiving reality (delusions or hallucinations, in which a person experiences and senses things that don't exist in objective reality)

• Overuse of substances like alcohol or drugs

• Multiple physical ailments without obvious causes (such as headaches, stomach aches, vague and ongoing “aches and pains”)
