Why I Became a Therapist |
Why I became a therapist
Here are three reasons why I have chosen to dedicate my life to helping marriages and families overcome their painful pasts and thrive.
Personal experience with family dysfunction: Growing up without knowing my biological father, having a dysfunctional relationship with my stepfather, and lacking a sense of family has given me first-hand experience with the challenges and complexities of family dynamics. This personal experience has inspired me to pursue a career that helps others navigate similar difficulties and build healthier, more functional relationships.
Desire to help others: My personal experiences have instilled in me a strong desire to help others who are struggling with similar issues. By becoming a clinical psychologist and marriage and family counselor, I have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals and families in need.
Interest in human behavior and relationships: My personal experiences have sparked an interest in understanding human behavior and relationships. Through my education and training, I have developed a deep understanding of the psychological and emotional factors that influence our interactions with others, and I can use this knowledge to help others build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.
In summary, my personal experiences and a desire to help others have led me to a career as a clinical psychologist and marriage and family counselor. My unique background and insights have enabled me to connect with and support my clients in a meaningful and effective way.
