Despite all the mental health stigma- you’re here!! Thank you for visiting the site and for taking the first step. Sometimes the hardest step to take.

Whether you say “YES’ to therapy today or just end up exploring around, give yourself credit. I know how it feels. Years ago when my friend suggested I go to therapy, I took offense, and I had an urge to defend myself and my sanity. Little did I know that the defensive voice wasn’t mine! I went way beyond just seeking therapy- I became a therapist myself.

It's okay If your friends don’t understand it, or if you have to hide this journey from your family (as some of my Albanian clients did at first). You deserve this and believe me- You will grow to not feel guilty about giving yourself what you want and deserve.

If you decide to work with me- please contact me. I am more than happy to be part of your journey.

However, if you want to explore more, please see below some resources of Albanian therapists that Ariana Metalia created.
