It is when we are trying to establish ourselves as individuals, separate from our families and perhaps even the town we grew up in.

Do you sometimes feel as though you are an actor, playing a role in public, but living very differently in private? Do you engage in behaviors that you might not be totally proud to reveal?

That - and a lot of training - makes me a pretty good fit to be a therapist. My role is to listen, observe and und...

At times the stressors in life can be crushing and prevent us from achieving our goals, or even forming goals.
