(Elizabeth Caldera, MA) “I just wanted to thank you for our sessions. I have always had a difficult time with being honest in therapy, and I have never felt judgment in any of our sessions and have always felt comfortable with talking about situations that I have been struggling with for so long.

The first question, “What is Bipolar?” and the second question, “What is my role when things start to unravel?” Furthermore, for many people who have been diagnosed with this specific disorder, becoming fearful, confused, and having no concrete plan on how to manage the next episode can dominate one’s thoughts.

Teens, Entitlement and Instant Gratification

At any second we can catch up with the news, check our bank accounts, and send an email. We can purchase something and have it delivered within 2 days.
