Summer Witty, LMFT
Life can be challenging, and sometimes we can feel inadequate in dealing with life struggles. Sometimes we feel like we've tried everything, but for some reason we still feel stuck despite our best efforts. Although there are times in our lives when we feel great, there are also times in our lives when we feel hopeless, anxious, depressed, or even lost. Therapy can be highly successful in creating an effective, balanced, and fulfilling life while managing life's difficulties and eliminating emotional pain. If this is you I want to hear from you. I would be honored to hear your story.
