Tessa Smith
“I want to learn more about myself,” “I feel confused and lost in my own life,” “I am anxious and worried all the time,” “I have a hard time understanding my relationships.” I hear you and I will be here for you. Choosing to start therapy is a brave step on a rewarding journey. Our time together will allow you to embrace vulnerability and healing, learn new skills, take risks, and attend to parts of yourself that need nurturing.
You know yourself better than anyone else, and my goal is to empower you to embrace your individuality and story. I incorporate existential, person-centered, and parts work into our sessions to help inform our work together, but will implement techniques to best fit your needs.
Together we can explore whatever brought you to this point, gain a greater understanding of your emotions, and work toward resolution and healing. If you recognize yourself this profile, give me a call and we can talk about how I can best help you. I look forward to hearing from you!
