Therapy is not a new concept. Talking about life's problems has been something that people have done for thousands of years, and this practice has evolved with the times. Therapy can be a helpful resource for people facing challenges in their lives and relationships, whether it's depression, anxiety, conflict with loved ones, or other life stressors. Going to counseling doesn't mean you're weak- rather, it means that you want to improve your life so that you can live life in happier and healthier ways.

Find out if you need a therapist.
Therapy is a good option if you are struggling with a problem that is causing you distress and/or interfering with your ability to function in everyday life. Therapy can help you learn new skills and build resilience so that when times get tough, you're better equipped to handle them.
If therapy sounds like something that could benefit your life but isn't right for now, then it's worth considering later on down the line. Sometimes therapy isn't an immediate need but rather something we might want or need at some point in our lives--and this is OK! If there comes a time when therapy becomes necessary for you (for example, if things start getting worse), then consider making an appointment as soon as possible so that they don't get any worse before they get better!
Is therapy right for me?
Therapy is a great way to deal with a wide range of issues in your life. It can help you manage the stress of work and relationships, as well as dealing with mental health issues like depression or anxiety. If you're not sure if therapy is right for you, here are some questions to ask yourself:
Are my relationships suffering? Do I feel isolated from others?
Am I having trouble at work or school because of stress or anxiety?
Do I have trouble sleeping due to worries about my day-to-day life (money problems, family disputes)?
How do I find a good therapist?
Finding a good therapist is more than just finding someone who is licensed. You want to make sure that they specialize in the area of mental health you're struggling with, such as depression or anxiety. You should also ask friends and family members if they have any recommendations for therapists who may be a good fit for you.
Finally, consider whether this person would be able to meet your needs as well as any special circumstances that might affect how effective therapy will be (for example: are there other issues going on in your life?). Your therapist should be willing to discuss all of these things with you from day one so that both parties know what they're getting into before starting treatment together!
What should I expect in my first visit to a therapist's office?

The therapist will ask about your goals for therapy.
The therapist will ask about your past experiences with therapy.
The therapist will ask you about your history and background, including family, friends, and coworkers.

How often should I go to therapy?
The frequency of therapy sessions depends on the severity of your concerns, as well as what your therapist recommends. Some people can get better with just a few sessions, while others may need more frequent sessions.
If you have an acute problem (for example, if you are suicidal or have recently been discharged from the hospital), it is best to seek immediate help from a qualified professional who can provide guidance and support while helping you develop strategies for coping with intense emotions in the moment.
Does insurance cover therapy?
Insurance coverage for therapy is not guaranteed. If you have health insurance, it's likely that your plan will cover some form of mental health care in the form of counseling sessions. However, there are no federal laws requiring insurers to offer this type of coverage and some companies choose not to do so. The best option is for you to call your insurance company directly to ask about your mental health benefits.
If you have a medical condition that requires therapy as part of treatment (such as depression), then your insurance provider may provide some assistance with costs associated with such treatment options. But again: this is not guaranteed by law and depends entirely on what kind of plan you have purchased from them.

If you're thinking about therapy, we can help you figure out if it's the right option for you.
Therapy is a good option for those who are feeling overwhelmed by their emotions. If you find yourself feeling sad or anxious more often than not, therapy can help you figure out why this is happening and offer solutions for how to cope with these feelings. It's also helpful if you are having trouble in your relationship with other people (such as family members or friends), as it gives you an opportunity to work through any issues that may be causing tension between the two parties involved.
Therapy can also be beneficial if your job performance has been suffering due to stressors at work--it allows the person going through therapy to focus on improving their life outside of work so they can be happier overall. Finally, those diagnosed with mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety disorders might benefit from seeing a therapist since they will likely be able to better understand why they feel certain ways about themselves/life situations once they've been diagnosed properly by someone else who knows what he/she's talking about!
Conclusion
Therapy can be a valuable resource for many people. If you're thinking about going to therapy or just want more information about what it entails, contact our office and we will help you figure out if this option is right for you.
