If you've awakened recently, looked at yourself in the mirror while getting ready to start your day and wondered, "Who is this stranger staring back at me?, I can help you find yourself again and start moving forward toward a future that holds promise, fulfillment and even joy. It's easy to get lost amidst the daily grind of ordinary living, not to mention some of the unprecedented levels of stress in our world today. In mid-life, women experience special stressors of menopause, caregiving, helping launch adult children, and relationship and professional challenges, too. We often start wondering, "What is the meaning in all of this?" and question long-held values and priorities. Now in my early 70s, I remember living through those challenges and coming out successfully on the other side of them. In therapy, I help my clients learn to develop compassion for themselves, grieve losses, build new problem-solving and self-advocacy skills, and let go of unfinished business that's holding them back from living fully. I'm excited to be alive and look forward to helping you recreate a sense of purpose and enthusiasm for the possibilities inherent in living through mid-life transitions and beyond! I am now affiliated exclusively with Simmons Counseling Services, offering virtual therapy throughout Florida and in-person appointments Wednesday through Friday afternoons in our convenient location, with free parking, in the Mills/50 district of Orlando. To schedule an appointment, email suellen@simmonscounseling.org or call 407-865-0495 and ask to set up an appointment with me. Isn't it time for you to reclaim and begin fully living your life again? If so, let's get started!
