People who want to climb Mt. Everest and make it back safely often hire a highly skilled guide—frequently one of the famous indigenous people, the Sherpas—to help them find their way and carry some of the baggage. Here, if your daily life is feeling like a long, hard climb up a steep mountain, similar assistance is available in the form of therapists such as myself, who have made that climb hundreds of times, know the way, and are experienced handlers of baggage. If you need a skilled companion, I would be honored to join your expedition.

Psychotherapy is a mental health service directed at treating assorted mental health conditions and disorders. The goal of this treatment is to improve a client’s daily functioning, ability to manage symptoms, and overall life satisfaction.
Psychotherapy works by employing a variety of therapeutic approaches, depending on a client’s symptoms and concerns, in an effort to adjust perspectives, change behaviors, mitigate mental health symptoms, and address any other goals established by the client and therapist. Making these adjustments will usually involve talking about one’s past experiences, emotional introspection, making connections between emotions and behaviors, and many other practices.
