Removing the Mask | A mental Health Journey to Healing - Volume 1
Have you ever felt as if you cannot trust people because of folks not keeping their word? When it is time to wind down your day and you are alone at home, do you ever sit in silence and just cry? Do you struggle with fulfilling your dreams because you have observed others doing something similar? Then you have opened the right book.
Many of us have grown up in households where we experienced different situations. Where absence, depression, unforgiveness and comparison were often not discussed. Where we had to suppress what we were dealing with and put on a mask around others, while hurting deep inside. I pray this will help you remove the mask and begin your mental health journey to healing.

Removiendo La Mascarilla Vol. 1
¿Alguna vez has sentido que no puedes confiar en las personas porque no cumplen su palabra? Cuando llega el momento de terminar el día y estás solo en casa, ¿alguna vez te sientas en silencio y solo lloras? ¿Luchas por cumplir tus sueños porque has observado a otros haciendo algo similar? Entonces has abierto el libro correcto.
Muchos de nosotros hemos crecido en hogares donde vivimos diferentes situaciones. Donde la ausencia, la depresión, la falta de perdón y la comparación a menudo no se discutían. Donde tuvimos que suprimir aquello con lo que estábamos lidiando y ponernos una máscara alrededor de los demás, mientras nos dolía profundamente. Ruego que esto te ayude a quitarte la máscara y comenzar tu viaje de salud mental hacia la curación

What is the difference between therapy, coaching, and mentoring?
Therapy focuses on healing past trauma, managing mental health issues, and improving emotional well-being. Coaching is about helping you achieve personal or professional goals by identifying strengths, setting clear goals, and holding you accountable. Mentoring provides guidance and advice based on the mentor’s experience to support your personal or career development.
How do I know if I need therapy, coaching, or mentoring?
If you’re struggling with emotional or mental health challenges, therapy might be the best option. If you're looking to achieve specific goals or improve areas like confidence or career progression, coaching can help. Mentoring is ideal if you seek long-term guidance and personal or professional development from someone with experience in your area of interest.
What should I expect in my first session?
In your first session, we’ll talk about your goals, challenges, and what you’re hoping to achieve. It’s an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for you to ask any questions about the process. We’ll work together to create a personalized plan to support your growth and healing.
How long are the sessions, and how often should I attend?
Therapy, coaching, and mentoring sessions typically last 50-60 minutes. The frequency of sessions depends on your goals and needs. For therapy, weekly or bi-weekly sessions are common. Coaching and mentoring may vary based on your progress, but regular sessions are encouraged for the best results.
What is your approach to coaching and therapy?
Our approach is client-centered, meaning that we tailor our methods to fit your unique needs and preferences. We integrate evidence-based techniques for therapy, while coaching and mentoring sessions focus on empowerment, goal-setting, and practical strategies to help you succeed.
Can I switch between therapy, coaching, and mentoring services?
Yes! You can transition between services based on your needs. If you start with therapy but later feel coaching or mentoring would be more beneficial, we can adapt your plan. We’ll always discuss any changes with you and ensure your new plan aligns with your goals.
