Shaun Lester, PhD, LPC

Dr. Shaun Lester, Matthew Whalen and Jared Pizzitola recognize that being in a helping profession, you sometimes just need someone to talk you.  You may be struggling with helping others because you are currently experiencing hard times.  Do you find yourself drained at the end of the day?  Are your relationships with family and friends suffering because you are so exhausted?  Would it just be nice to have someone to unload on so that when you get home you are more energized and eager to give to your family?

There are periods in our lives when we are confronted with challenging times – life’s storms.  Oftentimes these storms can be difficult to navigate alone.  You may feel like there is no hope of success; you know you cannot do it alone but you don’t know who to turn to; you are afraid of reaching out to someone; you don’t want to be a burden to others or you have just given up altogether.  Nature shows us that storms come with varying strength – some of them can be powerful, damaging, and devastating.  No matter how powerful the storm may be, it will eventually pass and the sun will emerge once again.  Clean up after a storm can be tough but with help from others, it is not an impossible task.
