You can’t change the past.
But it doesn’t have to control your present.
Online Psychotherapy for Adults in Washington, DC and Virginia
You’ve fallen through life’s trap door.
The thing about the trap door is that you don’t know it exists until you fall through.
Your worst fear has come true.
It is shocking that everyone else moves on with their daily lives. How can they go on when your world has crumbled? You are terrified, devastated, and feel all alone.
And you’ll never be the same.
Your parent or partner dies… “They were such a big part of my world. How do I go on without them?”
Still reeling and recovering from a car accident… “It happened so long ago. I should be ready to get behind the wheel again, but I can’t…”
Your child is given a terrifying diagnosis… “They have so much life ahead of them – this shouldn’t be happening!”
A devastating divorce or breakup… “We promised each other forever. What did I do wrong?”
Down here, you feel there is no way out.
But there is a way out…
I will meet you here. I will guide you out.
When we don’t address the struggles that hold us back, they fester – and we dig ourselves in a hole that seems impossible to crawl out. We’re caught in a string of behaviors we don’t recognize.
We live in constant fear and never seize new opportunities and experiences.
We doubt our potential and always blame ourselves when things don’t work out.
We find ourselves repeating patterns we know are unhealthy, and it feels like we have no good choices.
We all have the capacity to heal and change.
You can learn how to find solid ground after crisis.
You can learn how to live a fulfilling life even though you know the trap door still exists.
If you could have figured this out on your own, you would have. I know you’ve been trying. Today is the day you call me.
Let’s Talk.
Hi, I’m Leslie.
You have lost hope, but I haven’t.
I hold hope. Hope that you will find purpose and composure, hope that you will find calm and connection, hope that you will find choices and power.
Our past guides us in ways we often don’t understand. We will not change the actual experiences you have been through, but together we will transform the power of these memories.
