Recognizing that individuals inherently seek connection and fulfillment, Dr. Lagos highlights the pain associated with loss, disappointment, and relationship issues. These struggles often manifest as feelings of insecurity, anxiety, and depression that, when unaddressed, can lead to destructive anger, withdrawal, or reliance on escapist distractions. As a considerate and pragmatic guide, he assists individuals in navigating their distress, emphasizing the importance of addressing both external relationships—with spouses, children, friends—and one's internal relationship with self. Dr. Lagos welcomes the chance to help others redefine their sense of belonging and significance, creating pathways toward healing and healthier connections.
