Janet Hope Horwitz Psy.D. Therapy for Individuals and Couples

You are okay just as you are right now. When you give yourself permission to start from wherever you are and celebrate the small victories, you will eventually achieve what seemed impossible to you. Try not to compare yourself to others or get discouraged. <3 #drjanhope.com

It has always been my belief that our way of being in the world represents our best effort at adaptation given the sum total of our life experiences - both good and bad. It is important to be patient with ourselves and accept ourselves where we happen to be and allow ourselves to heal. Healing is a process that happens over time. As we peel off layers, we liberate ourselves from self-doubt, fear, anger, and self-hate and are freed up to live and love more fully.

Anxiety is often a signal to us that something is not right in our lives and masks other emotions like anger or sadness. For real healing to occur there is no substitute for having a safe space to sort through thoughts, feelings and for awareness to emerge in waves. drjanhope.com #therapy #anxiety

When you grow up with the message that you are not important, it is hard as an adult to feel that what you say matters and be open with others. Good therapy provides a safe place to share your emotions and learn that you do matter. drjanhope.com #Psychotherapy #EmpathyHeals #SelfConfidence

In depression, we see ourselves in black and white terms and our ability to see the positive is lost. Remember that what we see as reality are simply emotions and that they are only temporary. drjanhope.com #StayTheCourse #PsychotherapyHelpsHeal

What kills passion in relationships is lack of emotional connection and sense of safety, not familiarity or time. #drjanhope.com #relationships #EFT #couples therapy
