Hello and Welcome…

A Letter From A Therapist: Issue 1

I offer you congratulations for taking this step in considering therapy services and would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our practice. Preservation Within Therapy Practice, LLC was established in early 2020 during the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic as a beacon of support to those seeking a space to ground and heal. As the practice has developed, so has the enhancement in the ability to maintain therapy services remotely. Our practice has embraced the opportunity to be able to continue providing services in a seamless, confidential experience from the comfort of one’s home. This is one instance that reflects our commitment to our clients to continuously implement the methods and techniques that are best practices for our present climate.  

So, is therapy right for you? 

As a therapist, I often get asked the question “who should be in therapy?”. This question is always curious to me but I hope that by breaking it down here you can feel as though you have an understanding that “who” is often not the correct question; rather, the question “when is therapy right for me?” is more appropriate for most. The process of counseling can provide many purposes. It can offer an objective and unbiased space to gain insights regarding our daily stressors, it can provide education and understanding of our conditions, it can suggest implementation of skills for coping and managing aspects of life, and it can simply provide an environment of safety for us to reflect. 

What I can offer as an initial suggestion is that you hold yourself accountable to promote opportunities for self preservation, whether that includes therapy or not. We are often far more resilient than we know and through this process together, we could further embrace our hidden strengths. Please feel comfortable reaching out to decide if this is a good starting point for your journey. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,

Amanda J Nowak, LPC, LMHC
