I provide psychological assessment and psychotherapy services. Though I understand the value of “diagnosing” a person’s particular problem, I’m definitely against labeling a person as such. A person’s difficulties–you name it: anxiety, trauma, depression–is what it means in part to be human. Everyone has some type of challenge, to various degrees (and certainly, some more than others).
