I was the proverbial good kid and nice guy. But something was still missing on the inside. I was taught the Scriptures from my youth and knew intellectually I was a true son of God, but there were few guides to show me how...

A therapist wants to support you toward a healthier emotional state, no matter what you're dealing with (including behavioral health concerns, grief, anxiety, depression or stress). While helping to develop healthier emotions, another benefit of therapy is you have a safe space to discuss problems that you may be hesitant to talk about with people who you see everyday.
Many people have sensitive topics to discuss; possibly an addiction or an issue with their relationship that they’re ashamed to speak about with their friends and/or partner. A Buena Vista therapist can help you confront these kinds of issues and find ways to face them and heal.
