You can Experience the peaceful relationships you desire while pursuing your passions.

You have done so much planning for your career, friendships, and romantic relationships that failure has never been an option for you.  So, when you have found yourself struggling with anxiety, sense of dissatisfaction, depression, or general unease it has left you feeling lost and unsure of your next steps for the first time in your life. You’re considering seeing a Tampa counselor. 

You’ve always had a picture in your mind of what life could- or “should”- look like, and you’ve worked hard to reach that vision.  But no matter how many accomplishments you have or goals you reach, you just don’t feel quite like you imagined.  

You thought your drive and ambition would be recognized by promotion at work, but you haven’t seen any forward movement.  Or maybe you have achieved everything you have longed for in your career, but your loneliness continues to grow.  Perhaps your family have been expressing that they wish they had more time with you, but you don’t know how to please them and succeed in your work. Our Tampa counselors work with many high achievers who say similar things.

From a distance, it looks like you have everything: Success, job fulfillment, and financial stability.  But you’ve noticed that the successes aren’t bringing you closer to people, and for some reason you’re feeling disconnected.  Each new accomplishment is beginning to feel empty, and the distance between you and what you want continues to widen every day. 

You might be feeling anxiety about work, your relationship, or your future.  You may be trying so hard to hold everything together and you’re feeling the strain of trying to be everything to everyone, all the time.  The stress is becoming too much.  You may even be feeling some depression.

Or maybe your relationship is strained by emotional distance, fighting, or living like roommates.  You’ve been working hard so you and your partner can enjoy your life together, but the unhappiness between you is becoming louder and more stifling.

You may be experiencing the memories or residual effects of a trauma and despite all your effort, you can’t ignore it anymore.  You thought you had “moved past it” and buried it so deeply, but it keeps surfacing in intense and inconvenient ways.
