Message from Therapist

One of the most noble pursuits an individual can have is to strive to lead a meaningful and purposeful life. This can be an extremely difficult task, both in terms of determining what this personally means and then figuring out how to get there. When we feel stuck and overwhelmed, other negative and self-limiting states also take shape including anxiety and depression, leaving us full of bad habits and desperate for change. In the therapeutic work with Andrew, the aim is to uncover the root causes that inhibit fulfillment and to further apply practical strategies that will permit change and foster personal growth.
