Francis Toal MBA, M.S. APCC# 13630 (He/Him)
Often, we are weighed down by feelings of fear, anger, distress, sadness, pain, anxiety, and even guilt. These feelings can intrude on our everyday lives, affect us, and affect those around us. It is not uncommon, that those closest to us often see our suffering more than we can.
Our culture has made it so that we bury these feelings and emotions and throw up a façade of strength so as not to be a burden or worse, be judged. Meanwhile, on the inside, we struggle and often seek out destructive coping mechanisms, often towards a path of addiction. This can lead to a vicious cycle of behavior, suffering, and regret that we feel helpless to get out of. Contacting a therapist can be difficult but it offers an opportunity to break that cycle and to provide relief. It is a sign of strength, humility and self-awareness that we accept we don’t have all the answers. Allow yourself to conquer those feelings of powerlessness, fear, and loneliness in a safe and secure place. A place where you will find empathy and guidance. Whether it is depression, anxiety disorder, trauma, relationship issues or substance abuse (to name a few), let’s try to put an end to this mental toll we place on ourselves. Therapy can provide a safe and collaborative environment that allows you, without judgment, to share your fears and struggles. Allow it to provide support and constructive coping skills while you work to resolve life’s challenges. Give yourself the gift of inner peace, healing, growth, and happiness. We’ll work at your pace, on what you want to work on or collaborate to set goals. I offer a free 15 min phone or video call should you want to see if we are a fit. Just message me.
