"Life is Hard" - Scott F. Peck
Therapy is needed by many people - adolecents, children, adults, families. It is no longer seen as a stigma - but can simply be a need to learn, grow and express feelings. To learn to communicate, to talk, to share feelings. Talking is Medicine. And life is hard. We all need "The Road Less Travelled" (Scott F. Peck). It is multifaceted and there is always a therapy to fit the needs of an individual.
