Finding a Therapist in Dublin, CA
When life’s downs have us feeling a little too down, it can feel challenging to accept support from anyone, let alone that we could benefit from professional support. Mental health has become a large focus in today’s culture, but many of us have deep beliefs that can keep us stuck and prevent finding support. Maybe you feel like going to therapy means there is something wrong with you, you might get some big, scary diagnosis, or friends and family might think differently of you if they found out. I know how difficult it can be to challenge these thoughts and take the next step. I’m here to help ease that process for you.
Feeling stuck? Here are some tips to help you move forward in finding a therapist in Dublin, CA.
