Therapy is an opportunity to deal
with difficulties or to try to prevent hard
things from happening.

As a woman…
… many days can be tough for many reasons.
It takes work to show up for your children, your spouse, different family members, and friends… not to mention the people on your job.
There’s no time for yourself.
Sure, sometimes you feel dismissed, unheard, and unseen, but over the years, you’ve mastered the art of ignoring your own feelings for the sake of others.
So, you keep pushing through, making your own well-being your last priority. Besides, you’re strong enough to handle it… until you’re not.
There is a way to have a better relationship with yourself.
As a teenager…
… it can be so frustrating to be constantly misunderstood.
The voices of adults seem to be everywhere – at home… at school… at church. Grown folks seem to feel free to instruct, advise, and direct you; but they don’t seem to find value in listening.
If only they would let you speak and fully share your voice. At least that might help you begin to describe what you are feeling because sometimes it’s hard to be sure.
Plus, you can’t tell your friends or family everything. They might judge you or tell other people.
Nobody needs all that drama.
Sometimes, it feels like it would be easier to disappear.
You deserve an opportunity to have a future that is uniquely yours.
You deserve to be heard without being harmed.
Marriage looks so…
… easy for some couples.
As you head down the aisle with the excitement of becoming husband and wife, you both feel good about the idea of investing time and intention toward laying a solid foundation for your marriage.
Although you are confident in your love, you can admit that love might not be enough.
Honestly speaking, there are some past experiences and hurtful moments that need to be healed and maybe even forgiven. If only you knew how to say what you feel in the right way.
You know that keeping it inside to “keep the peace” probably isn’t a good idea, but it wouldn’t be good to blow things up as you’re planning your wedding. That’s no way to start a marriage, either.
Please don’t let fear dictate your future together.
Learn to communicate now to strengthen your marriage.
Grief has left you reeling.
You feel completely lost now that someone or something you care deeply about is gone.
Yet somehow, the world keeps turning. Is life really supposed to go on like nothing has happened?
You feel the absence of that person, pet, or position strongly, but the love and desire for them still exist.
As a matter of fact, you still can’t accept how things have changed. You are still upset with other family or friends who were there, but not there for you. Now you have to make all these decisions or watch other people make choices that you don’t agree with.
It’s just too much.
Grief is unique to each person, but it is possible to grieve in a healthy way so that you can finally move forward.
Talking to someone about exactly what
hurts can help you heal.
You’ve thought about contacting a therapist.
There’s a part of you that knows there’s a lot to explore and unravel about what you’ve been going through.
You can even begrudgingly acknowledge that there are issues you’d like to work on.
But you’re scared that once you open the floodgates to your emotions, you won’t be able to get them back under control.
Yes, it’s ok not to be ok. It’s also okay to have support to guide you through these struggles so you can emerge stronger for having gone through them.
There is a better way to live.
