A tapestry is created by weaving many individual threads together.
Each thread represents something different:
Your experiences.
Your relationships.
Your environment.
Your challenges.
Your strengths.
Your past.
Your goals.
Your hopes for the future.
No single thread tells the entire story.
In that same way, I don't believe your mental health can always be understood by looking at one symptom or one diagnosis in isolation.
My approach is to step back and look at the whole picture.
Understanding that larger picture allows us to develop treatment that is thoughtful, individualized, and grounded in your unique needs.
