Everyone can benefit from therapy

We often think of seeing a therapist or counselor as something only for people who have super serious mental health concerns. However, therapy is extremely beneficial for everyone! If you are going through something more acute like a breakup or family issues or relationship problems, therapy can help you process your feelings and equip you to have a positive response to negative situations.

Going to therapy does not mean you are broken. I liken it going to see a personal trainer. Yes, I could do the workouts on my own, but sometimes it helps to get a professional to guide my training and give me tips that I wouldn't have thought of by myself.

It can be difficult to admit to yourself that maybe you need some outside help for your mental health concerns, but I see it as courageous. You are getting the strength you need to address the stressors in your life so that you can move forward and improve your quality of life.
