1. At Bliss, we’re committed to tailoring your therapy. We’ll start by matching you with a therapist who truly understands your unique needs – feeling that instant “click” is essential to building an open and trusting relationship.
2. Then, you’ll get started with your initial session. During this appointment (virtual or in person), you’ll share what brought you to therapy, gaining a clearer picture of yourself and your challenges.
3. From there, you and your therapist will come together to create a personalized path to overcoming parenting stress and a deeper sense of connection to yourself and those you care about. After each session, you’ll leave with insights into your underlying emotions and newfound confidence to applying the tools and techniques you learned in session.
4. Sometimes, exploring your reproductive or birthing experiences and feelings can shed light on deeper issues. Your therapist will be there to help you understand and overcome any obstacles you encounter, clearing the way to a more blissful life. It’s all about guiding you back home to yourself.
