Couples & Midlife Therapy - D. Hope TolaLicensed Professional Counselor Candidate, MA, NCC, LPCC (she, her)

About

Board-certified therapist specializing in midlife (anxiety, parenting, divorce, sex, aging, identity, grief) & relationships (couples, teen+parents.) Midlife is often a tumultuous, confusing time with big questions: How did I get here? Is this life right for me now? What do I want? Time to evaluate, explore desires/beliefs/needs and figure out what a successful "second half" looks like. I work with men & women who want more out of their lives, want to shed elements that aren't fitting anymore, want more fulfilling relationships, are questioning career/family/life and want to find happiness, purpose and the right path forward. Strong track record with high-powered "Type A"s - I challenge with care & warmth. Direct & honest, I also help couples & pairs (parent+teen, adult family) interrupt negative cycles, learn to listen & find better ways to connect. We normalize contradictory feelings ("I love you & also hate you sometimes") and explore how to bring back respect, safety & love.
