The relief you seek is inside of you…let’s find it and make it stronger than the problem! You may be fed up with using/abusing substances to cope with other issues (anxiety, depression, post-trauma, etc), feeling a happier life will always be out of your reach or tired of looking in the mirror and seeing shame, guilt, or discontent. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. You’re ready to relieve yourself of the control substances seem to have over you . You’re ready to regain the confidence in yourself you once had. Most of all, you’re ready to flourish in life rather than just live (survive).

Paula J. Lambur, MS, LCPC, CADC, believes that by acknowledging your pain, accepting struggles, and making peace with the past, you can heal. She is here to help clients learn to move forward in a meaningful way despite what has come before or what is occurring now. Paula believes that our past experiences influence how we perceive ourselves and how we interact with our life now. These past filters or lenses may have been protective then but perhaps not now.

Growing up, mental health is not something I heard of or talked about often. Being raised Mexican for me meant that the chances of having a conversation about mental health was not likely, much less learning how to express my emotions and stress in healthy ways. The older I get, the more I learn, the more people I meet--the more I strive to help bring mental health awareness and education to not only the Latinx community but to anyone willing and ready to learn.

Has anxiety, depression, or trauma hindered you from experiencing life to the fullest? I want to remind you that you are not alone, nor should you continue to feel that way. Perhaps you are struggling with addiction, emotional pain, or feeling overwhelmed with the pressures of life. . . and struggling in solitude can be lonely. Currently, we live in an age that allows for us to disconnect from emotions and our bodies; while subscribing to a culture of suppressing emotions, over extending ourselves with busy schedules, and being unforgiving of failure.
