Why Seek Therapy?

There are myriad reasons why people seek therapy services. For some people, working with a therapist is seen as a preventative tool that helps them to manage their day-to-day stressors in a way that’s healthy and helps to mitigate a more severe response or outcome; for others, working with a therapist may be something that’s sought after a mental health event or a trauma or loss in life. Some of the top reasons why people seek therapy include:

• Help managing the emotions and stressors associated with major life transitions
• Relationship and marriage counseling
• Addiction and substance abuse
• Anxiety or constant worry
• Depression
• Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
• Help in building confidence and self-esteem
• When experiencing grief, loss, or illness
• Help coping with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Managing trauma and PTSD

It’s important to remember that even if what you are experiencing doesn’t fit into one of the categories above, you can still seek therapy. If you feel as though you could benefit from working with a mental health professional who can help you to set goals, learn tools and strategies for coping, and start to change your thinking for better mental health outcomes, then working with a therapist is for you.

Benefits of Therapy

What you get out of therapy will depend, in large part, on what your goals are for your personal therapy sessions and what you put into them. Remember, therapy requires work and focus outside of the therapist’s office, too. Some of the benefits that are possible with therapy include:

• Improved communication skills
• New perspective 
• Improved sense of self-esteem and self-acceptance
• Improved expression of emotions
• Better ability to recognize, name, and respond to emotions
• Relief from feelings that may previously have been overwhelming, such as anxiety or depression
• Improved interpersonal skills
• Increased feeling of control over one’s own life
• Increased happiness

How to Choose a Therapist Near You

If you are ready to meet with a therapist for the first time to discuss your personal needs and goals for therapy, look for a professional who specializes in the topic area relevant to why you’re seeking therapy. For example, if you are struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder, working with a therapist who has experience in trauma-informed counseling may be useful.

In addition to the therapist’s experience, it’s important that you find a therapist whom you trust. You’ll be spending a lot of time together and will likely be navigating some tough conversations, so it’s important that you feel comfortable.
