Self-Esteem And The Power Of Communication

— It's frustrating to face the reality of anxiety and self-doubt overpowering one's desire to create change. You may therefore wonder what therapy holds for you as far as purpose, value, and intention. By working with your therapist collaboratively, you can become a more self-aware individual, develop a more constructive sense of reflection, and become more powerfully in control of your life. Through psychotherapy, you explore your biological, social, psychological, and societal factors to develop clearer pathways to understanding you. As a result, you can better apply the coping skills that work best for you. Whether you're weighed down by anxiety or unsure about your ability to make a change, therapy can help you learn to be curious about yourself. Often, your unknown parts hold surprises for you! Valeria interviews Alissa Martinez — She is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. She has experience with nonprofit organizations that were centered on assessing needs through access to resources and exploring the various components that impact mental health. Alissa has also worked for mental health group practices where she provided both individual therapy for all ages, as well as couples therapy. She recently opened up her own private practice Crystal Mind Counseling where she now focuses on providing individual and couples therapy to adults struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, and relationships. From quite an early age, Alissa has been passionate about psychotherapy, long before she understood the concept of it. For a long time, because she sought to be understood, she ultimately found herself wanting to understand the world around her.
