Why Adam Became a Therapist

I became a therapist because I realized my true passion was in psychology, which caused me to switch careers from business. I became a therapist because I genuinely am interested in how the mind works, and how we can use those insights to live lives that we find fulfilling, engaging, and worthwhile.

How Adam Lives Authentically

I try to experience my feelings and not let the fear of what has been, what could be, or what I may feel, stop me from pursuing my goals. At the same time, I recognize that progress is not linear and I make an effort to be kind to myself in tough moments.
