My inspiration for being a therapist, therapists.

The picture here is my son Chris. Chris has autism. He has a lot of challenges. He is also a delight.

The reason this is my inspiration for supporting therapists is I know that therapists are just humans. We all have our personal and professional challenges. Often people think therapists “have it all together”. We don’t, well we mostly do, but we also live with challenges just like everyone else.

As therapists, we are often held to a much higher standard than everyday people. It can be a very difficult place to be when faced with life’s inevitable challenges.

For this reason, I just love supporting other therapists through their growth phases. Yes, you read that correctly, growth phases. You see I do not see life’s problems as problems necessarily. I see them as opportunities for growth.

Everyone gets those opportunities, even therapists. Due to our unique careers, we need people who understand what we are going through and are able to support us on our journeys.

If you are a therapist and are looking for very private counseling to work through some growth, reach out for a free 15 minutes session.

Many blessings
