Your search to find a therapist that fits for you can be a challenging experience. Trusting your intuition, listening to your gut, and basing your decision off of chemistry can be an excellent start to your therapy.
It can be hard to share parts of self that feel shameful or embarrassing. Being vulnerable is not necessarily easy, however it can be very rewarding.
Whether you are looking for individual counseling, marriage counseling, or therapy for your child, give Julian a call today for a 15 minute consultation, so you can see if you are a good fit. He will get back to you within 24 hours.
To set an appointment for an initial consultation, please reach out and we'll find a time that works for the both of us. If you and I decide we’re a good fit, then we'll move forward and schedule a recurring appointment.
Relationships take ongoing effort and sometimes we need outside support to help navigate through the often challenging territory of intimacy. Love is a consistent effort to take someone else's wellbeing into consideration and following through with that commitment. Marriage counseling or couples therapy can provide much needed clarity and a neutral third party to facilitate helpful resolution.
Work with systems of interaction between family members to nurture change and development. Family counseling can help you family improve communication and the quality of your relationships.
My hope is that you will see your seeking help not as a sign of weakness but as a sign of strength that you are willing to heal and to grow.
