Therapy Doesn't Have to Start With Having Everything Figured Out
You don't have to know exactly what you need before starting therapy.
​
Many people begin counseling because they know something needs to change, but they aren't sure what that change should look like.
​
You may be questioning your relationship with alcohol or substances.
​
You may have completed treatment but still be struggling with anxiety, relationships, or everyday life.
​
You may be using substances to manage emotions that feel difficult to handle on your own.
​
Or you may simply feel stuck and want someone who can help you understand what's happening without judgment.
​
Circe believes therapy should meet people where they are.
​
Her approach is grounded in humility, lived experience, curiosity, and a genuine desire to help clients find their own path forward.

Yes.
