FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I know if I need therapy?

We all feel anger, sadness and fear at times – that’s part of the human experience. But if those emotions become so intense that they start to impact your daily activities or if you often find that you feel overwhelmed by daily stress, therapy may be able to offer you some solutions. Additionally, if you find that you often feel tired, with low motivation, or have stopped doing the activities you previously enjoyed, finding new strategies with a therapist could be helpful. Further, if you are getting negative feedback at work, feel like your closest relationships are becoming strained or that friends are pulling away from you, you may benefit from talking to a professional.
