You may find yourself constantly feeling down, depressed, hopeless, or anxious. Perhaps you have lost one or more people who you have loved and depended on. The broad spectrum of issues and reasons that individuals seek help include shyness, being socially awkward and self-conscious, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief, and chronic illness. Rather than pigeonhole or isolate problems and focus on diagnoses, I focus on the whole person’s subjective experience and find ways to nurture emotional growth.
