That’s why I’m here. My tools range from innovative new mind-body modalities (e.g., Energy Psychology) to the most ancient spiritual/energetic modality (shamanic healing). These tools enable me to help clients address most of the problems that licensed mental health professionals do – plus some they can’t. And usually do it more efficiently.
This is the main reason I almost always have one or more licensed therapists as clients. See the testimonials on my website.

Struggling with how much your world has changed in such a short time? Feeling anxious, on edge, and uncertain? If your anxiety has been triggered by current events, you are certainly not alone. But in some ways, that makes it harder. Everyone is worried and hurting, including you. You can also feel it tapping into some old stuff, magnifying how lousy you feel. You have worked so hard in your life to feel in charge and on top of things but now feel out of control and helpless. It's not a good feeling. Even worse, your usual coping mechanisms -- going to yoga class, getting coffee with a co-worker, or throwing yourself into work -- have been taken away for now. There's no real end in sight and you're not sure what to do.
We understand how awful that feels and want to help. The therapists at Nova Terra Therapy work both online and in-person to help clients like you to identify and deal with both old and new anxiety triggers. We use a variety of approaches but are particular fans of blending cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and EMDR. Using this combination, we help you to get at what's happening in both your mind and your body when it comes to anxiety-provoking or traumatic events. We've found that these two heavily-researched evidence-based treatments are particularly effective at giving our clients efficient, long-standing relief.

You are getting things done! You go to work, knock down those goals- your super successful, and yet, things just aren't working. You're not happy, maybe you can't relax. On a normal week-anxiety keeps you up at night. And, with these last few months, you are even more on edge. Maybe it's time you talked to someone who understands the pressures of working and living in the DC area and how to protect your mental wellness.
I appreciate that it can be challenging to find a therapist. I encourage you to shop around, read profiles, visit websites, and have initial sessions with a couple of providers to find someone who you can really talk to and be open with. We all have different styles and vibes and ways of talking and that's a good thing, hopefully we're all well trained as well but I encourage you to inquire if our training and credentials are confusing or not obvious.
In therapy I will be someone who challenges you. I might interrupt you at times if your thinking seems off. I will encourage you to feel and exercise and be honest with yourself and the people you love. Therapy will be challenging. Hopefully you will be thoughtful about the process and interested in making changes. I'm here to help you become the person who you want to be and love the person who you are.

I feel the same way, I don't want to intrude on your post, but I am almost 38 and I am single because I feel like I can't bring any happiness to any man. I can't have kids either, I have a poor mental state and I am gaining weight and just basically living the life of a recluse. I feel terrible that I can't meet a man and give him kids, I have had too many health issues and I am older… so I feel like who would want to marry me.
But take heart! You are not single! You have a hubby.
The best advice I can give is to accept the love from your man! Don't think of the things you can't give him, think of the things you ARE giving him. There is a reason he is YOUR man! He loves you for you. Maybe you are enough, and he means it when he says he does not need kids, he has you. Try to think of what you are to him so that he will see you appreciate him and you can be happier. 🙂
I know it is easier said than done, but I would do anything for someone to love me, and if I had someone I would try to think of what I am giving him rather than what I can't give.
Thank you i understand what your saying and like u said its harder to do than say. Though i do need to count my blessing and i am grateful for my hubby. Just wish my depression and anxiety would leave me alone to enjoy my life but i guess thit's not meant to be yet:-(
Anytime u fancy a chat give us a shout we may not know what we both have been through but i can listen.
