You’re carrying too much—long days at work, tension at home, and the constant feeling that you should have it all figured out by now. Maybe you’ve been told to “tough it out” or “just keep going,” but it’s not working. You feel stuck, frustrated, like a failure, and unsure how to move forward. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep doing it all on your own. I work with men and women who feel like they’re bearing the weight of the world. You might be navigating stress at work, falling short, challenges in your relationships, or just feeling lost in the day-to-day grind. You don’t have suffer though. Therapy can be a place to pause, and sort through what’s really going on. I’m straightforward and supportive. Together, we’ll focus on what’s not working and build solutions that feel doable. Whether it’s addressing past experiences or finding new ways to tackle life’s challenges, I’ll help you move toward a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. Taking the first step towards therapy can feel weird, but it’s also an opportunity to start fresh. Let’s work together to help you feel less stuck and more in control of the life you want to create. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Emerson Cook, LCSW is a licensed therapist that earned his master's degree in social work from the University of Alabama, and has worked in psychiatric in-patient, home hospice, palliative care, skilled nursing facility, and outpatient counseling settings.
