Stress Center Peer Support

tina, I've had these problems ever since I was a child. I can barely remember last week. Did you see some sort of therapist or psychologist to help you with this process? If so, could you recommend what I should look for in either or?

I have had low self esteem and poor self confidence ever since I could remember. I now see how these factors play a major role in my anxiety and depression.

I just listened to half of the 3rd session so I'm not even half way there. But a week ago I was presented with...
