The things bringing you to therapy are the same things that make it difficult to reach out to a therapist, so:
-
Your mind is already a powerhouse. Problem-solving or overthinking, for better or for worse, your mind is a force. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy uses the strengths of your mind, and creates literacy in your body and emotions.
Knowledge is power = choice and freedom. Book a free consultation to learn more here.
