Therapy does not have to be lumped in the category of shame.
It also does not have to be viewed as an unattainable resource once the haunting, self-sacrificing images approach your doorstep.
In fact, from my experience, we embody the very ingredients that are meant to harm us and, get this: SAVE US!
Which is why it is so important to get your story out there, my friend!
You and you alone harbor the formula to not only alter your ending, but others who will come after you.
Isn’t that remarkable?!
One minute all you can see is darkness, and in another you have pen in hand positioned to rewrite a legacy for your future children and grandchildren to look back on.
I would say that is some powerful stuff!
Come as you are; don’t worry about the rest.
Let me take care of that for you.
I, too, was blessed to stumble upon a path worth traveling; and, yes, it has made all the difference.
Allow me to help you reveal that flicker of life left in your flame!
About Natalie
Ahh! You’ve arrived; I’ve been waiting for you…
Hi, if you got this far, you already know my name is Natalie Valle. I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist, LCMFT.
What you don’t know, however, is that I don’t have it all together. That’s right! I said it. I am a therapist, and I don’t have it all together. LOL. I would be willing to bet that I am not the only one either.
And, there is nothing that brings me more joy than knowing I made a difference in someone else’s life. Especially when it comes to mental health.
For as long as I can remember, the one pillar of wellness that is unacceptably neglected is the mental realm. If it is not an issue one can visually depict, it tends to be misunderstood or, worse, goes ignored.
For some, the impairing symptoms even become too painful to face. They choose to leave it all behind.
This is the stigma of the journey I am here to change.
