Do any of these sound like you?  Come see me and we can figure out together with the adults in your life how to make life better for all of you!  We can sit down and first just talk about what you are good at, and then use those strengths to help with the other areas of concern.

You are valuable and have many gifts to offer our world, you just may not see them all!

And if you do know your strengths, that will make it easier to work on your therapy goals. I truly believe that many of the things listed above are what others see, but they are usually symptoms of a deeper issue. It’s that deeper issue that I’d be honored if you would share with me. I can also help your parents understand you better, so that they get why you are cutting in the first place for exmaple, and address the real problem for example.  

You may be able to sleep better, feel more confident, make more friends, feel more in control of your emotions, have more people like you (even your parent(s)) and be able to accept the past and move forward.

If you’ve been the victim of any form of abuse, I’m very sorry that this happened. You never deserve to be abused sexually, physically, emotionally, spiritually or socially.

Don’t hesitate to call or tell your parents to give me a call to help work through some of the very complex feelings and messages abuse can cause.
