If you are reading this, you are likely taking that first step toward more balance and satisfaction in your life.
Most of us have felt stressed, depressed, stuck, overwhelmed, worried or frustrated at various times throughout our lives. But when issues or feelings persist for long periods of time, it can be debilitating and negatively affect your ability to function effectively in every aspect of your life. Seeking the help of a clinical psychologist can put you on a path to gaining more insight/clarity and generating positive change so you can find more satisfaction and harmony in life.
Ask yourself these questions
Are your feelings or concerns interfering with your sleep, appetite, job performance, exercise routine, relationships, or daily functioning?
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, worried, frustrated, stuck, or dissatisfied about work, family, or life in general?
Are you trying to adjust to a recent loss, life transition, or changes in your work, health, or relationships?
Are you feeling isolated, alone, or disconnected? Do you feel sad more than happy most days?
Do you attend to other’s needs before your own and then don’t have the time or energy to engage in self-care?
Do you want to improve your self-esteem or find greater self-worth?
Are you having difficulty adjusting to academic challenges, performance expectations, or social aspects of college life?
Are you less interested in the things you used to enjoy or are you avoiding situations, people, or tasks?
Do you want more balance, joy and purpose in your life?
Are you aspiring for personal growth and self-improvement?
Are you just going through the motions each day without being engaged in your life or with others?
Do you repeatedly respond or react in the same way without getting the results you desire?
If you are experiencing some of these issues, please take a moment to ponder what presence therapy can have in your personal life, in the life of your children/family, and in your relationships.

Personal Growth and Healing is a Process
Personal growth and healing is a process of creating self-awareness, developing insight, enhancing strengths, implementing effective coping, and practicing behavior change.
Feeling disconnected or lacking balance can be overwhelming, holding us back from embracing and feeling fully satisfied in our lives. With our busy, complex, and complicated lives, it is easy to get caught up in daily events and feel as though we're on auto-pilot every day. There is a lot to balance such as jobs, children, families, friendships, school, career development, personal growth, difficult decisions, and intimate relationships. This lack of balance or disconnection can sometimes lead to feeling stuck, frustrated, stressed, anxious, or depressed.
While you can't change difficult situations of the past, you can gain a better understanding of yourself, resolve challenges in your life, and have more balance and satisfaction in life. Creating life balance is a delicate task that challenges your diligence, your flexibility, and your evaluation.
Taking time to attend to your inner life and adjusting your camera lens and perspective can bring a new level of clarity and peace, guiding you to positive change. By taking this first step of deciding to engage in therapy, you have already moved closer to a new you and will soon begin to feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Novit works with you to attain a life you feel is more balanced and satisfying.
