Sometimes the hardest part is to seek out counseling. It is a time when often we feel out of control, uncertain, even powerless. We seek validation for our feelings and support for our choices. Therapy is a time to be vulnerable and, therefore, choosing a therapist is a very personal process. Life has many transitions that can be challenging to navigate. The goal of therapy is to help alleviate some of the stress and allow you to function at a higher, more productive level. Real, lasting change comes from self-exploration and self-awareness. In therapy, we explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and therefore every session is confidential. You need to feel as though you are able to freely share with your therapist. Seemingly simple solutions, like attempting to just stop doing something or thinking a certain way, may not work. Therapy provides a space to discuss and examine your concerns and develop understanding and skills to see you through the challenges.
