People often come into therapy seeking relief from painful feelings/ patterns, while expressing a desire for change. Making these changes and exploring these patterns can be difficult.

I worry they get tired of listening to me." There are many reasons people feel stuck in their anxiety, depression, or relationship problems, and feel immobilized by them. Understanding what is causing problems can help you feel less stuck and immobilized, more at peace, and more self-confident. Psycho...
