The shift to motherhood is a profound transition. It is full of change - in your relationships, with your body, and in your sense of self and identity within this role. Individual therapy can support moms who are struggling with the impact of these changes around them and within themselves.
Individual therapy offers a space to safely process and explore childhood experiences. Childhood is a formative, and often times as adult, making sense of family dynamics and childhood experiences provides a way to not only make meaning of your lived experiences, but to also make sense of how these perspectives in adulthood can help you live a meaningful and authentic life.
Individual therapy allows clients to explore and identity how to move away from making fear-based decisions and how to move into making values-based decisions. This practice of acceptance support clients in their ability to make decisions even when feeling uncomfortable and navigating uncertainty.
Gray Therapy Group invites you to put down your therapist "hat," and set aside time for yourself as the client. Therapist are people first, and taking time for your own work in therapy is an investment both personally and professionally, as well as a profound act of self-care.
