For nearly two decades I’ve advocated for and worked closely with children, adolescents, and families in order to promote mental health and positive outcomes at home, school, and within the community.
It’s well known that the best and sometimes only way to “better” is through. Finding the strength, motivation, and courage to work through challenges is easier said than done. The very fact that you’re on this page, looking for support, means that you’re moving in the right direction. One of the most important things impacting the success of therapy is the quality of the relationship between a therapist and their client. For this reason, it’s so important that you’re comfortable working closely with your therapist and have confidence that they have the expertise and experience to support you.
