"A client once asked me if would carry them to the finish line. I answered, 'I won't carry you, but I will support you along the sidelines and when you feel you can't go any further, I will hand you some water. You will want to quit, but I'll be there to cheer you on and remind you of your goal. When you reach that finish line, I will celebrate with you. Cause you did it. No one else. You.' That's my role as your therapist. I'll be with you on your journey of self-discovery and growth every step of the way"
