Your mental state can feel like a clock. When it’s going well, it’s ticking along just fine and you feel like you have enough time to do anything. However, when you feel depressed, anxious, or don’t know what to do in life, that clock can feel like it’s spinning fast, and you feel like you don’t know how to turn it back. A counselor in Waltham can help you reset your clocks.
Waltham is known for its watch manufacturing. While they’re good for telling the time, a counselor is good for telling you about how much of your own time you can manage. Speak to a counselor today.
