Ellen Adams is currently accepting new clients. Are you a take charge woman? But lately has it been extremely difficult to push through? Is it now taking everything in you just to roll out of bed to face the overwhelming day? Let's face it, everything to fall on your shoulders. Even when you've tried to get others to help shoulder the load, you end up having to clean up the mess.

It's time: time to deal with the trauma and triggers that are holding you back. Life feels hectic, but taking care of yourself is important. You have to live with you the rest of your life and you're ready to make it better. You're determined now; you've made the decision to take care of yourself...AND you know you want some help doing it. What if you could connect to someone who could truly see how you're doing and not pass judgment? And what if having someone wisely walk with you will help your life improve?

Whatever the case may be, the bottom line is that you, as the client, must be committed to making the necessary changes to improve your life. I am committed to helping as well as I can.

You can never seem to get on track. You’ve tried everything you can think of, from ideas from YouTube to suggestions from other people. The message you’re getting through life is to try harder. And just trying harder never seems to work. Whether you have ADHD or some of the traits attributed to it, trying harder isn’t going to work. What the well-meaning people who try to help don’t know is that you need to try something different. Each time you lose your keys, forget to turn off the stove, or get sidetracked and lose track of time, you roll your eyes at yourself. Not again!

Why? It's such a simple word with so much importance. As humans, it is in our nature to ask this question about ourselves, others, and the world around us. Sometimes the answer may not be so clear. That's where therapy can help. I work with teens and adults who ask themselves this question every day. Perhaps you have experienced trauma at some point in your life, you're going through major changes, or you're struggling to truly find yourself. No matter where you are in your life, there is strength in asking for help.
