Meet me at the bench….

Therapy is a journey. It’s a commitment to meeting a therapist at the bench because you want to heal, grow, and lead. It’s a time to pause and breath in a private space just for you and about you. Sometimes you end up crying on a couch for an hour…other times you solve problems. Mostly, a therapist teaches you how “to create space for your soul to breath” ~ Emily Freeman, to understand your story, and to express your true self.

When you feel pain, therapy can help you heal. When you are stuck, therapy can help you grow. When you are juggling multiple relationships, therapy can help you lead.
