Talk therapy helps you by allowing you the safe space to talk about the past or current conditions that you are dealing with AND THEN learning new ways to think or approach them.
At First Position Therapy & Counseling Center, LLC, all realms of mental health support are valued. I have been a devout member of the mental health field, in many forms. I've been:
