If you find yourself really wanting something (a relationship, weight loss, more friends, financial success, more respect, more productivity, etc.) but repeatedly failing to achieve it despite your efforts, it can be very easy to fall into despair or blame. This cycle can lead to loss of hope and negative feelings about yourself, creating even more obstacles to achieving your goal.

The therapeutic relationship provides support and healing in ways you may not have experienced before that inspires growth and change. Therapy also helps you fill in the missing pieces of the picture to better understand what’s getting in the way of achieving what you want. Having this previously unknown information helps you to feel empowered, more confident and provides more options for how to get to where you want to be.
