JuST ReLAX!: Has anyone ever told you this before? I know, it really gets under my skin, too. Do I really need therapy? What's the point of sitting on a couch and talking with a stranger about my problems? I'm way too busy to be speaking with this guy for an hour anyway - - All of us have difficult moments in our lives that lead us to seek out therapy. Sadness can feel like it will never end. Anger is felt in our head, but we may feel judged by others for expressing it. If only there was a button we could press that would make us feel happiness. Though that magic button may not exist, we can work to create a new path together.
At Shire Family Counseling, we would be honored to listen as you speak about your own journey, and to help you find the path that you want to take in life. Particularly, I specialize in working with teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing trauma, OCD, and depression concerns to name a few.
My own past experience with injury - related trauma helps me to relate to some of the daily frustrations, such as not being able to get outside and play after an injury. I would be honored to hear your story and work with you so that you may find peace of mind at this stage of your life. Call, text or email me to get started with a FREE phone consultation.

I work with you to help you heal from traumatic events that have left wounds that cause internal pain. We work together so that you do not stigmatize your own trauma. I have heard many patients say, "well, I didn't have it as bad as some people, so I should not complain." Your pain is still worth healing even if it might not be as bad as others with trauma.
