+ Shouldn't I be able to handle life on my own?
Therapy has a stigma associated with it. We live in a society that tells us we should “have it all together,” and that if we don’t, we are weak or flawed. Therefore, I understand that asking for outside help may seem weird, but I encourage my clients to view therapy as a healthy decision to invest in your own present (and future) well-being. Think of it this way, if you knew your heart was failing – wouldn’t you do everything in your power to fix it? Mental health should be no different. Therapy is an investment in yourself that allows you to heal from past and present wounds, grow into your best self, and thrive every single day!
