Introduction

You ever find yourself struggling with overwhelming emotions? You feel angry, hurt, or sad with yourself, your relationships, or circumstances in your life. You feel stuck, as if there is no way to say what you need to say or take steps in the direction you’ve been dreaming about. Maybe you struggle to hold connections with people in your life, and you find yourself wondering what happened. Internally, you hope to feel heard, validated, and understood by the people around you. Maybe sometimes you feel like you’ve got a handle on this life thing, but other times it’s a lot just to get through the day. You’re trying your best to get through it, but it’s a struggle and it doesn’t always work out the way you hoped. Growth and healing begin with compassion and understanding, for ourselves and those around us. When we allow ourselves to speak our truths and breathe life into our experiences in a supportive environment, we may begin movement towards healing. Maybe we take one small step at a time. Maybe all we need to do is pause and breathe. My hope is to sit with you in your darkest moments so that stuck doesn’t feel so stuck anymore. Working together we will set goals, and learn new skills for navigating difficult feelings and circumstances. Contact me today for a free 15 minute consultation. Auden Counseling provides compassionate, evidence-based mental health services. We empower individuals to achieve their personal goals and enhance overall well-being. We cultivate a therapeutic environment where you feel supported & empowered to navigate life's challenges with resilience & self-awareness. Our goal is to foster lasting positive changes.
