Essential Reads for Healing and Growth

Discover a selection of heartfelt books that explore themes I specialize in as a therapist. These aren't just informational resources; they offer compassion and understanding for individuals navigating life's challenges. I hope these books provide solace and inspiration on your journey of healing and self-discovery. Remember, you're not alone. These stories can illuminate a path towards self-compassion and positive personal growth. This is an evolving list, and I'll regularly add new titles that I believe will resonate with you. If you have titles that you think I should check out, please let me know by sending me a quick email at admin@lightheartpractice.com
