Welcome. Often the first step is the hardest. Maybe this is your first time seeking therapy, or perhaps you’ve tried before to find a therapist who truly hears and sees you. Psychotherapy has two goals: to heal past trauma and to unpack the harmful beliefs and conflicts that are causing you to be at war with yourself. Therapy can bring about sustainable and lasting change by breaking destructive cycles so that you achieve a sense of wholeness, freedom, and well-being. You might describe it as emptying the baggage you’ve carried around for too long. You might talk about it as learning to feel better in your own skin. The exact purpose of your own therapy will be specific to you. You may be coming to work on short-term symptoms or to begin longer-term exploration of your inner life. Either way, therapy seeks to help you figure out your truth so you can move through the world with greater ease. Why not call me at 213-807-6021 to arrange a free, 20-minute consultation? Let’s talk about how I can help. If you'd like to learn more about me, visit amysalbert.com.
