I work with students experiencing difficulties with self-esteem, depression, anxiety, low motivation, grief and loss, OCD, relationship problems and trauma. I have found that a helpful starting point is to do this as a team. We build on skills you already have, learn new skills and develop understanding of who you are and what kind of life you want to live. Then we figure out what barriers are getting in the way and how to overcome. Of course that's a general idea and we can shift things aro...
