POST-ELECTION STRESS IS REAL

The aftermath of a contentious election can significantly affect mental health, leading to what is often called Post-Election Stress Disorder (PESD). Whether you feel anxiety about the future, hopelessness, or anger about the results, these emotions can be overwhelming - regardless of where you are on the political spectrum.

Societal division and uncertainty about future policies can intensify this emotional turmoil. Seeking professional counseling offers a safe, compassionate,  non-judgmental and supportive environment to process these feelings, share experiences, and develop effective coping strategies. With my therapeutic guidance, you can transform despair into empowerment, navigating this challenging time with renewed strength.

My counseling care can also provide essential tools to manage stress and anxiety, helping you foster resilience amidst uncertainty. By prioritizing mental health and engaging in professional care, you can turn anxiety into constructive action, leading to a healthier perspective while protecting supportive relationships.
