David Dean Schwartz, L.S.W.
Whether or not you choose to begin psychotherapy, gathering information (what you're doing right now) is a powerful positive step. See that? You've already started the work. Seriously! As you consider your next steps, know that every therapist has a philosophy and style of his or her own, so poke around this site and get to know mine. If it feels comfortable, call me, and we'll arrange for a consultation without charge.
Life gets really complicated sometimes.
This is true for every last one of us...
Welcome.
Unfortunately, we live in a culture that says we're only OK if we're strong, independent, and don't need anything from anybody. That's nonsense, and isolation just makes everything harder. Knowing when and how to ask for help can be difficult, but it can also make all the difference in the world.
I'm Dave.
