Life is difficult sometimes and can feel overwhelming, lonely, or sad. I have felt that way as well during parts of my life.

However, the stories we believe to be true of ourselves and others are capable of being rewritten. The important factor is identifying through discovery and support of how YOU are the author.Therapy isn't as much learning skills to overcome mental health issues as it is unlearning carried shame, guilt, and negative beliefs to become an emboldened you.
