Life can certainly be a struggle at times. Aging, whether you are just beginning to feel it or you have been moving through it for some time, is hard. Feelings of loss, depression, anger, shame, guilt and/or anxiety can waylay us and make it difficult to cope. Problems with independence, relationships, family conflicts, health issues, professional work and grief from loss can all be overwhelming. Exploring these issues in a safe, supportive environment can be helpful. By understanding what is triggering these feelings and developing tools to assist in coping, things can be less difficult and enjoyable again.

Aetna, Anthem, Horizon BC/BS NJ in-network Psychotherapy for adults, Telehealth in NY&NJ. When your “do-it-yourself” model needs a bit of bolstering! Integrity, resilience, capability & self-reliance are part of your character. You normally function well (enough) yet lately feel tired, overwhelmed, frustrated, worried. You feel up against the wall with a new situation, or have had it with an old situation. Perhaps there is an illness, a relationship change, job stress or loss of a loved one. Yet it's hard to reach out, hard to trust that someone will “get you” and be able to help. With humility, I believe that someone may be me.

To be self-aware and recognize that you need help is a strength that should be acknowledged. Taking the next step and finding a therapist can be both nerve-wracking and uncomfortable. While deciding to seek therapy is hard enough, finding an approachable and empathetic therapist should not be. Although it is my job to counsel and treat my clients, it is my passion to empower and encourage my clients to grow and achieve their goals. By establishing a strong rapport and a safe environment, the therapeutic relationship becomes supportive, collaborative, and non-judgmental without effort.

Seeking a therapist is a brave step, and I commend you for trusting your inner wisdom to begin this journey toward your wellness and healing. Healing from interpersonal violence and intergenerational trauma, can be challenging and often leaves us feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure about who to trust. You might feel like you're just getting through each day, sensing that something is missing because the past continues to influence your present.
