One Grief and Anxiety Therapist in Modesto CA Perspective
As a therapist working with adults who are experiencing and processing anxiety and/or grief, it's important that we create a space and experience in which you can show up as you are in that moment. A space that allows for the walls to come down, the adventure of exploring to begin, and is safe to be and hold your vulnerability. Through our collaborative work in creating this environment, it is easier for you to access your vulnerability and allow the opportunity to create the change you desire.
Let’s dive into what you may need to know….
At times, you will need help with different pieces in your life. Sometimes, because you are unclear about what the issue is; other times because you need or want someone's support as you create the change.
You are the expert in your life. You might hear this and think, of course, I am the expert. On the other hand, you might hear this and think, no, I’m not the expert; I have no idea. Both of these statements can be true. Perhaps you might certain parts of yourself and your life, while in one area, you might feel like it’s a mystery or you're lost. No matter where you land on the spectrum above, together, we create the space, time, and ability to explore it all.
While we explore whatever judgment you might have about a life event or situation, know that, as your therapist, there is no judgment. You get to decide what works best or doesn’t work and what action you would like to or not take. As your therapist, the focus is on providing support, accountability, authenticity, and guidance in a compassionate way.
It’s okay not to want to do deep work every session. Sometimes, creating sessions that are lighter in session serves a greater purpose. Like sharing about what you need or want during that session and practicing setting boundaries that reflect your needs.
Please share your thoughts and feelings. Share your voice regarding if something is or isn’t working. We can celebrate together if things are going well. If not, we can change and fine-tune things to create a better experience.
You are a human being, and there is no instruction manual. Your experience is unique to you. Why? Because how you experience your life is through your own lens: a lens that no one else has but you. Discover some of the reasons that prompt people seek therapy in Modesto CA. Sometimes, life can be a bit messy, and other times, a lot more. This therapist is ready to embrace you as you are in this moment and empower you to be in the driver's seat.
Therapy is a process that takes time, but after all, you are worth it.
Yes, therapy is a process. There is no set of expectations of what this experience will be. We can place those ought-to, shoulds, and what-ifs on hold. We are both experiencing this process for the first time in this way.
The process of therapy takes time. What a shocker, but really, it takes time. Time is needed so you can explore and identify what the issue is. Together we can explore to understand further, what you may want to do about it, if anything, and sort out what’s the head trash that comes up when you think of creating, implementing, or accepting this change.
We will also make time to implement the change as well as time to fine-tune what worked out or didn’t work. It takes time to create growth and healing. We will work together at a pace that works for you. Now, time can mean 4 months of weekly sessions to a year or years. It really depends on so many factors. Sometimes, more time is needed than what you would like - therapy it’s a process and journey, after all, and you are worth it.
Yes, your therapist thinks of you outside of our session and genuinely cares about what happens to you in your life. I spend time and energy outside of sessions thinking about clients and how to be of help and support—holding compassion and hope until they can also hold it for themselves. Your therapist wants to embrace the whole human being you are. There is a lot that happens behind the scenes to create the space for you (perhaps for another blog for now). Find out more about why this therapist opened her practice.
Your therapist is a human being first and a therapist second. As such, some days are great and others not-so-great ones, just like you.
To sum it up, come as you are, and let’s dive into the adventure of creating what you need.
