Starting therapy can be daunting, and I congratulate you on taking the first step. I believe therapy is not something that is done "to you"; rather, it's a collaborative effort where we establish your goals together. I use a trauma-informed care approach that asks "What happened to you?" rather than "What's wrong with you?".
