Family Therapy in Birmingham, MI

Are you struggling with day-to-day challenges of life and overwhelmed? Life feels scattered, sad, and stressful. Sharing these difficulties with others is simply impossible. No one seems to really understand, nor do they have the insight or patience to really help. Staying optimistic about things getting better is not working anymore. You've done that for the last several years and you feel stuck. Sleepless nights thinking about reaching goals you believed were possible are now unbearable. Figuring it out on your own is not working, and trying another approach alone feels defeating. Knowing where to turn next brings on anxiety.
