I also support clients who choose to use their faith as a coping tool and incorporate prayer and seeking guidance from a higher power if that is important to them. I assist clients in identifying resources in...

Whether a single event or a series of distressing or confusing moments, trauma cha...

Your relationships are more work than fun because you’re having a hard time expressing your needs. Or you’re just having a hard time finding those close, fulfilling relationships that you want. But a...
