When to Seek Therapy for Individuals

Sometimes you need to talk to someone, someone who can help. When you feel like you can’t do it alone. When you feel trapped, like there’s nowhere to turn. When you worry all the time, and never seem to find the answers. When the way you feel is affecting your sleep, your eating habits, your job, your relationships, your everyday life. When even the advice offered by family or well-meaning friends doesn’t really help you feel any better.

Recognizing the need for professional help is a good first step towards improvement. Therapy can be of real benefit, providing help for a wide range of problems such as depression, loss, marital strife, parent-child concerns, or emotional distress. It can also help fulfill aspirations for personal growth or self-improvement. Therapy has one clear and definite purpose: that something of positive value and constructive usefulness will come out of it for you.
