## Do any of these issues sound familiar?

***I feel anxious and have for years. I’ve done a good job at covering it up, but I think I’ve reached a breaking point. My wife wants me to talk to someone. I’ve never gone to counseling, but I’m willing to try. My friend saw you and said you’re a pretty normal guy who can relate to being married and having kids. Could we try a session?”
*Sure, [let’s set something up](https://rivercitycounseling.com/contact/).**

***Life is too busy. My wife and I both work full time, and we are struggling to balance work with our kids. We argue nonstop, and I think it’s affecting our kids. We love each other and want to get better. **We live in Los Angeles. Could you see us remotely?*”**
**Yes, as long as you live in California, [we can meet remotely](https://rivercitycounseling.com/contact/).**

**“*Our daughter was doing well before the Pandemic, but now she’s a different girl. Her father and I are worried that she might be depressed. This morning she asked to see someone, but only in-person. Can you help?*”**
**I’d be happy to meet with her. I’m seeing people both inside and outside. [Let’s set something up.](https://rivercitycounseling.com/contact/)**
