It’s time. You’ve been putting it off because you were busy or because you weren’t totally sure if therapy would work, but now it’s time. You’ve been struggling for a while now. You don’t feel like yourself. You don’t trust your own feelings. You seem to be constantly overwhelmed and worry if this is just your life now. You miss the days when you could just be lighthearted and have fun. You might get those moments sometimes, but they feel fake now, almost shallow. They fade so fast and you find yourself back here, facing those same thoughts. You don’t know if you have anxiety or depression or something else. You know someone somewhere definitely has it worse than you and you don’t want to sound like a whiner, but this is not what you imagined life was going to feel like. You want to know if you can fix this.

Individual therapy can help you navigate the muck in your mind. It can help you sort out what has happened and what has gotten you to where you are. Talking with a good therapist can help you see flawed thinking and empower you to confront the things you know are holding you hostage. It is a intentional activity designed to help you welcome a new chapter and a new you.
