Sandy Springs Counselors

Many people grew up thinking that strong feelings and emotions should be internalized and not shared. Unfortunately, this is often an unhealthy way of coping and one that can lead to negative consequences later on. At CNSL, our Sandy Springs counselors know that talking through feelings, emotions, and problems is one of the best ways to process challenges, and that working with a therapist can be critical in gaining the tools and strategies necessary for effective coping and management. To learn more about our Sandy Springs counselors and how we can support you when you need it most, reach out to us today by phone or online. We are here for you. 

Top Reasons to Work with a Therapist

Working with a therapist is a personal decision, and while the results can vary from person to person, therapy is generally well-regarded and recommended. Some of the top reasons to work with a therapist include:

• Improved ability to name your emotions
• Reduced reactivity to intense emotions
• Better ability to control your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors
• Improved communication and interpersonal skills
• Gaining tools for conflict resolution
• Improved ability to see new perspectives
• Developed coping skills and strategies
• Help changing negative thought patterns and behaviors
• Increased sense of control over one’s own life
• Improved productivity and happiness

Of course, you may have other outcomes depending on the specific goals you set for therapy. Your counseling sessions should be tailored to your needs and desires for therapy. 

How Do I Know If I Should Work with a Sandy Springs Counselor?

Making the decision to work with a counselor requires being thoughtful and intentional about your own mental health needs and goals. If you’re not sure whether you need to work with a Sandy Springs counselor, consider the following:

• Are you going through a major life change?
• Have you been experiencing constant worry or feelings of dread or anxiety?
• Do you feel depressed and unable to enjoy things you once did?
• Are you struggling with alcohol or substance abuse?
• Are you unhappy in your current relationships and don’t know what to do?
• Are you experiencing large amounts of interpersonal conflict in your personal or professional relationships? 
• Have you had any thoughts of self-harm?
• Are you a parent who has questions about how to best support a child or teen, particularly one who may be struggling with their own mental health or behavioral issues?
• Have you experienced grief, loss, or trauma?
• Do you want to improve negative thinking patterns and learn how to respond to emotions in a healthy and effective way?

If any of the above are true, working with a counselor may be the right decision for you. Of course, there are numerous other reasons why working with a counselor may be an appropriate choice. Call CNSL directly to speak to a therapist and learn more about the help that’s available to you.
