Why Start Counseling?

Why Counseling?

Counseling and therapy provide in-depth therapy that focuses on helping you improve your mental health, well-being, and relationships. Individual therapy sessions can help those who are ready for change and are in need of guidance. Anyone who is looking to improve their quality of life can benefit from counseling with a Professional Licensed Counselor (LPC). Working with a therapist can help provide new insight and perspectives into life challenges, help you to manage stress more effectively, and reduce conflict; so that you can navigate life’s obstacles more effectively.

What will I learn in Therapy?

Many people find that working with a therapist can enhance and improve their communication skills, confidence, autonomy, and overall well-being. Some of the benefits of counseling include personal development, such as learning how to take responsibility for your own unhappiness, and creating greater self-awareness and mastery over your feelings and emotions; while you are actively making daily efforts toward the change you seek and desire.

What are the Benefits of Counseling?

Psychotherapy can also be a valuable resource in helping you gain a clear understanding of what you are experiencing in regard to the life challenges you are facing. Counseling also enhances your ability to cope with symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and unresolved trauma; by helping you gain insights into your personal maladaptive patterns of behavior and unhealthy defense mechanisms; that are no longer serving you. So you can live the authentic life you deserve.

When Should Someone See a Counselor?

When you have no one in your inner circle to talk to. When you are having problems regulating your emotions and your symptoms continue to increase and have persisted and lasted longer than 6 months. When you find yourself overthinking more than normal. When you start to feel like there is something wrong with you or that you are inherently broken, or that you do not matter anymore. When you are not able to be present in the moment, every day feels like an uphill mental battle. You are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, sad, and alone.
