Throughout the course of our lives, we face difficult moments, decisions and sometimes what feel like insurmountable obstacles. Chronic medical conditions can be debilitating both physically and emotionally. The loss of a loved one can change a life forever. Relationships with family and friends can be strained for any number of reasons. Certainly, the pandemic has drained us emotionally. Therapy can offer helpful insight and guidance.
