Theo has been helping people cope with anxiety, depression and chronic health issues since 1996. He is a believer in cognitive therapy because he knows firsthand the relief that it can bring! Personally, he has learned the hard way that being “a people pleaser” or perfectionist to avoid rejection, can lead to exhaustion, stress and even harm your relationships with friends and family. He loves helping people find ways to take care of themselves without worrying that they are letting other people down. Schedule an appointment with Theo if you would like to learn how it is possible to deepen your connections with others without neglecting your own needs.
