Positive Change Therapy, PLLC

Jessica Byers, LCSW

Counseling Services in Cheshire, CT

You don't want to be in counseling forever, but something has to change.

Maybe you want to get back to feeling like your old self?

Or you're stressed by relationships with your partner or kids?

It can feel frustrating and overwhelming when everything you're doing has led to the same result. You’re tired of working so hard only to feel so discouraged when the situation doesn’t seem to get better.

Whatever the changes you want to make, therapy can help you identify what is keeping you from reaching your goals, and give you skills to improve your mood and relationships.

Do you compare yourself to others on social media and feel that you’re always falling short?

You feel you SHOULD be happy, but instead feel tired, overwhelmed and burnt out?

Maybe you feel like an impostor, or that you’re so irritable and frustrated with your life and the people in it that you can’t enjoy it. 

Therapy can help you rewrite the script, focus less on other people, and be more intentional and thoughtful about choices you are making. All of which will help you to feel less overwhelmed, more in control, and better able to enjoy your day-to-day.

Do you feel stuck in your relationship? Are you tired and frustrated of feeling like you’re not being heard? Has your relationship changed after having kids, and you can’t seem to get back on track? Maybe you have a pattern of difficult relationships and want to form healthier ones? 

Therapy is an excellent way to figure out your role in the relationship and how to make positive changes. I can help you learn relationship skills that will help things change, and get your needs met.

How can I want to make a change so badly, but not motivate myself to make the change?  You may need more motivation, but motivation is not something you either have or you don’t. 

Using motivational skills in therapy we can look at what is making you want to change, what is the specific change you want to make, and what steps you can take TODAY to start making that happen.

If you do not identify as your sex assigned at birth, are questioning how you identify, or identify as transgender, you may be looking for a therapist who is familiar with gender identity issues.

You may be just beginning to consider your gender identity, or you may be preparing for gender affirming procedures. Wherever you are starting from it helps to have someone to talk things out with in a supportive environment as you navigate the process.
