Is therapy right for me?

Everyone faces challenges in life and sometimes we need more support and guidance to overcome such challenges. In working with a therapist, one can gain insight, support, and new strategies in order to handle these challenges in a healthier way.

How can therapy help me?

Therapists can provide support, problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies to anyone willing to commit to change. Therapists can provide a fresh perspective on a difficult problem or point you in the direction of a solution. Ultimately, you are the expert in your own life and your success will depend on how well you use the process of therapy and utilize skills learned in your every day life.
