Mental Health Counseling
Hey. Take a deep breath. You’ve got this.
Chances are you’re here, because something inside feels off. Maybe your body is experiencing unexpected sensations that might be scary or difficult to understand. Perhaps your moods are swinging all over the place, or your thoughts are racing or seem irrational. I know the prospect of “seeing a therapist” can seem scary, and maybe you’re not fully ready yet to collaborate with one. I’m sure you have many questions right now, and I would be more than happy to answer them.
I know life feels a little scary right now, and my goal is mainly to help you through this. I approach therapy as a collaborative relationship where our mission is to help you on the journey toward living your most optimal life. You deserve to be acquainted with the beautiful and confident person that's within! This is achieved by incorporating body awareness and regulation, instilling self love and acceptance, and providing effective strategies for setting healthy boundaries and showering yourself with nourishing self-care.
There is something very powerful about the alliance formed between client and therapist, how it really does manifest a brighter outlook, greater hope and a fresher perspective on life. If you would like move forward, contact Inner Focus at yourinnerfocus@gmail.com or 708-714-2958.
