FAQ
People come to therapy for many different reasons. Seeking the advice of a professional is always a good idea if you are feeling depressed, anxious, or to cope with psychological issues. Additionally, many people benefit from counseling during major life changes such as divorce or career transitions. Working with a therapist can provide support and insight into issues such as anxiety, family dynamics, body-image, and addictions, bringing clarity and self-awareness to advance positive changes in one’s life
Although handling issues on your own is great, sometimes seeking out extra support is necessary in new situations or when you feel like you are reverting to familiar and unproductive ways of coping. When you have enough self-awareness to acknowledge that you need help, you are making a commitment to change a situation.
