What is it like to give so much of ourselves but reap limited gains in return? This idea inspires some discomfort. Yet, many seek therapy to cope with that fundamental question. If we are anxious, depressed, or ill, it may be challenging to deliver on our promises. If we diverge from the collective ideals of beauty and success, then who will be the arbiter of our "progress?" Life is not claimed by winners or forfeited by losers. That is a myth. Chance factors into the equation, and from it we (thankfully) all have complex, creative emotions to experience.

Welcome to Medallion Therapy, where healing and innovation meet through the convenience of Telehealth services. "A failure is not a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying." This poignant reflection from B.F. Skinner resonates deeply with those grappling with addiction—a challenge that is often misperceived as a string of personal failures rather than the medical condition it truly is. Addiction's complexity can confuse even those closest to us—family and friends who watch helplessly, misconstruing the situation due to its intricate and inconsistent nature.

I believe that all of the fulfillment that you seek to find externally, can be found within you. A lot of times, people spend their lives seeking ways to find joy and happiness in other things. This often leads to missing out on the beauty that is unfolding within their present day. It is easy for people to become consumed by their everyday lives and even easier to miss out on the simple things that bring happiness.
