Why therapy?
Do you ever feel too overwhelmed to deal with your problems?
You’re not alone.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 1 out of every 5 American adults lives with a mental health challenge. On average, about 31% of US adults will experience an anxiety disorder in their lifetime, 8.5% will experience a major depressive episode, and 6.8% will experience PTSD (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder).
Anyone can benefit from psychotherapy. Some people seek therapy because they’ve felt angry, depressed or anxious for a long time. Some may need help navigating short term issues like adjusting to a new job, going through a divorce, balancing demands of parenting or managing everyday stressors that have become overwhelming.
Signs therapy can help:
- You worry excessively, expect the worst, or are constantly on edge
- Your trust was betrayed leaving you with a feeling that the world is not safe
- You experienced severe criticism which now is an inner critic always telling you that you'll never be good enough
- Your problems aren't getting better despite your efforts and help from family and friends
- You feel an overwhelming and prolonged sense of helplessness
- You were taught that your needs are selfish and constantly sacrifice yourself for others
- You were loved for what you could accomplish, not for who you are
