Therapy is a Pathway
to a Better Life

Relief, Insight, and the Tools
to Live Healthier

Ali Roth, LMFT, MA

Most people have mental health
concerns from time to time

●  Struggling at work?
●  Repeating bad habits?
●  Not living a fulfilling life?
●  Thinking negative thoughts?
●  Fighting with family and friends?
●  Dating or marrying the wrong partner?

If you do, know you’re not alone. One in five adults in the U.S. struggle with their mental health. Sixty-one million people seek therapy, and studies reveal that 75% of people who attend therapy, significantly improve their emotional and psychological well-being.

It’s normal to experience mental health issues as you navigate life’s challenges. Yet some people still hesitate to seek mental health support to cope as they view asking for help as a sign of weakness. The opposite is true. It takes courage to admit you need help and reach out.

A New Pair of Eyeglasses

I Can See Clearly Now

Mental health disorders can make you feel like you’re looking at life through blurry prescription lenses that distort your emotions, thinking, behavior, and perceptions.

Perhaps you can’t get out of bed in the morning or are anxious about the future. It’s difficult navigating relationships, career challenges or you’re stressed out about a major life transition.

These problems can lead to poor physical health, relationship complications, economic losses, and substance abuse.

Using a structured framework, I’ll help you cope with life’s daily struggles, trauma, depression, anxiety, narcissistic personality disorder (NPD,) work-related concerns and loss. You’ll improve your interpersonal communication, learn to resolve conflict, cultivate healthy relationships, quiet negative self-talk, become more productive at work and alter detrimental behaviors.

Emotional Neglect.
Invalidation. Manipulation.

The Search for Unconditional Love

No matter how hard you work for their approval, it’s never good enough. Mom or Dad is never wrong and never sorry. Boundaries, what boundaries?

Plagued by self-doubt, you second-guess yourself, and because you were taught not to rely solely on your own judgement, you seek outside approval of others. Adult children of parents with NPD are conditioned to downplay, dismiss, and ignore their experiences and feelings. The result of which is depression, anxiety, or PTSD, all exacerbated by growing up with a narcissistic parent.

I help you disentangle yourself from the distorted self-image imposed by your parents and rediscover your authentic self. You’ll learn to challenge negative self-beliefs and build a more positive and realistic self-image.

Put the Oxygen Mask on Yourself First

Your Mental Well-Being
Is My #1 Priority

Many people have mental health concerns from time to time. We feel stuck or face certain challenges. Sometimes we know what’s wrong and other times, we have the nagging sensation that something feels “off.”

When we understand the causes of your troubles, we can alleviate your symptoms. And, when we do, you’ll feel renewed and be a better-quality partner, parent, friend, family member, colleague, and community member.

When your desire for your own welfare overrules your limiting beliefs and negative self-talk, what you aspire to starts flowing into your lives—be it a relationship, job, possession, or experience; your manifestations become effortless, without internal strife and resistance, the way your higher power intended it to be for you.

The Only Way Out Is Through

Feel Seen, Heard, and Witnessed

I take a creative and pragmatic approach rooted in the here and now. You’ll gain critical insight and essential skills to surmount the obstacles in your way, to chart a new path forward based on what’s meaningful, productive, and fulfilling to your future, unbridled by the past.

Using a combination of psychotherapy, family systems, somatic and person-centered therapy, in a safe and welcoming environment, we’ll uncover and explore the experiences, beliefs, and feelings preventing you from living your best life.

We’ll dismantle old triggers and replace them with healthy choices and positive options to help you make better decisions, turn goals into realities, and find a greater sense of peace in your daily life.
