Resources & Tools

Furthering your support and understanding

Taking The Work Outside The Therapy Office

At Made For This Counseling, I believe in providing my clients with a variety of resources to support their mental health journey. From insightful articles and recommended readings, to helpful apps and external links, I believe in empowering you outside of the therapy room to enhance your knowledge and understanding, and increase your self-awareness and reflection on topics related to you.
