You can work through your life issues! Psychotherapy is different from counseling. Counseling is working with current life issues and discussing them, processing emotions, and creating action plans to improve issues. Psychotherapy is deeper healing work where we explore how your current life in various areas has potentially been impacted by your early life and your life until now, and the beliefs and schemas that you formulated through those. We work with both the past and present simultaneously to heel wounds that occurred, big or small, and how to transform those into shifted behavior in the now.
