Asking for help is the strongest thing you can do.
Here's some common reasons why people seek mental health counseling or therapy:
"I need a couples counselor in Texas."
"I'm looking for some solid and consistent talk therapy."
"I'm new to therapy - how do I find the right mental health counselor or therapist?"
"I'm having a hard time adjusting to changes in my life and I could use a therapist."
"My relationship is great - but I'd like to learn how to communicate better."
"We're struggling as a couple, and we need help,"
"I have a non-traditional relationship, and need a therapist who gets me."
About Me
I love people. I believe strongly that the more people I meet, the more enriched my own experience is. I believe we're part of an endless interlocking set of systems, from family units all the way up to our place in the universe, and that in that system, every shape is valid. I'm an ally to anyone who comes through the door (or the screen) and I understand that the burden to educate on race, sexuality, gender and lifestyle falls on me and never my client.
