Gina Essex, MA LPC

Suffering in silence underneath stoicism, armoring and 'staying strong' are effective strategies to bear the unbearable for small, short-lived doses in order to do your job. When those strategies become all that you know and feel, your life can become unbearable for you and the people you love most. You are the perfect client for me: -If you live with a chronic sense of threat, danger, or impending doom (especially when you're in general public) -If you have a chronic desire to isolate, feel like nobody outside of work 'gets you' -If you experience a sense of dullness, numbness, lack of motivation -If you live with a chronic sense of dread, despair or hopelessness and find yourself wondering "what's the point of living" If you or someone you love resonate with or live with any of these symptoms and want help in getting your life back, contact me and we can work together to better understand, work through and heal the areas within you that have been impacted by complex traumatic stress.
