Individual Therapy

Service Description

Do you often say ‘yes’ when you really want to say ‘no?’ Do you find that you are often trying to make others happy at the expense of your own happiness? Studies have shown that the “people pleasing” personality, while virtuous in appearance, often stems from low self-esteem and low self-confidence caused by maltreatment during childhood. Using a cognitive-behavioral approach I help clients in Los Angeles County: - Understand how past experiences can affect present feelings and beliefs - Develop an awareness of automatic thoughts that influence their behavior - Challenge underlying assumptions that may be wrong - Adopt more accurate thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that can relieve their symptoms Please feel free to contact me to schedule a free phone consultation so we can get to know each other a little before we schedule a meeting.
