LAURA ESSEN, M.S.W / L.C.S.W. - Psychotherapist, Miami


The most important aspect of starting on the road to happiness is taking the first step... Determining if you need help. Many individuals living with psychological disorders believe that their state of mind is normal, and that they are doomed to a life of pain and anguish. Others believe that no one will understand what they are going through, or that they will be ridiculed or viewed as "weak" if they seek therapeutic assistance. These perceptions, themselves, can be caused by the very disorders for which therapy is required. For this reason, we have provided the following questionnaire to help you identify possible psychological disorders you may have, and to provide a helping hand in taking your first step toward happiness. No personal information is collected in the submittal of this questionnaire. The results are viewable only by you.
