ABOUT

Mental and emotional pain are mysteriously complex sometimes, but it's often related to suppressed emotion, unmet emotional needs, and feelings of inadequacy which drive negative thinking and impulsive/restrictive behaviors that make it harder to get better (not just feel better). 
Psychotherapy (​psyche = breath, spirit, or soul; therapeia = healing) is the process of gaining awareness of our feelings and understanding their meaning.
Through trusting someone enough to be truly honest, we also begin to recognize the self-defeating thinking and behavioral patterns that may be driving our emotional and interpersonal problems. 
It is a process that unfolds according to its own logical necessity.
 
  A truism in social work is "all behavior makes sense with enough information." Keeping this in mind, we can approach our difficulties sensibly and compassionately. We can acknowledge how our past experiences have undoubtedly shaped our beliefs and attitudes about ourselves, others, and the world. Yet by acknowledging the natural distortions we all carry, we can make better sense of reality and how to move through it effectively.
It affords us the ability to create new patterns that match our true values.
And it's never too late to get your values straight.
