FAQs
I can usually handle problems on my own or with the help of family or friends. What can therapy offer that is different?
Unfortunately, everyone goes through challenging situations in life, and while you may have successfully navigated through some previous struggles on your own or with the help of those close to you, there is no shame with seeking out extra support when you need it. In fact, people who have enough self-awareness to realize they need an extra helping hand is something to be admired and respected, and it is often these individuals who achieve the most success. The reality is that we all have our blind spots. A good therapist will not tell you what to do or how to live your life. He or she will give you an experienced outside perspective and help you gain insight into yourself so you can make better choices.
By seeking therapy, you are taking responsibility for where you are at in life and making a conscious commitment to change your situation. Therapy provides long-lasting benefits and support, giving you the tools you need to avoid triggers, re-direct negativity, and overcome whatever challenges you may face in your future.
