It’s easy to feel a lot of pressure to have it all figured out. Maybe you feel anxious about if you’re doing things right, or you feel kind of down, but you’re not really sure why. Or maybe you don’t understand why your partner overreacts when you’re just trying to help. It’s confusing and emotionally painful, causing you to either pull further into yourself or feel like you’ll blow up at someone any minute.
I’m Todd McCarty, LCSW, and I offer an effective therapy called Internal Family Systems (IFS). We’ll work through barriers to help you understand your emotions and what’s happening inside. Over time, this can help you feel more like yourself again and find a new direction in life. We can also work on communication skills to connect better with people.
My role as collaborative guide will help you understand yourself in deeper ways. I have seven years of clinical expertise assisting in resolving many issues, plus five years experience teaching men emotional intelligence skills. I think you’re here because you’re ready to change, so click a contact button to schedule a 15-minute consultation with me.
