It may be time to seek the help of a professional when you are feeling: overwhelmed, anxious, irritable, “stuck”, or if you are experiencing changes in your sleep patterns. These symptoms may arise as a result of stress, grief, or other life transitions.
When working with a psychotherapist, you will be:
1. Talking with someone you can trust about inner issues and struggles
2. Working on mutually established goals to improve your life and relationships
3. Challenged to try new choices and behaviors in order to meet life goals
4. Learning about options available in conjunction with individual therapy, such as support groups and medication.
It is important to “click” with your therapist so you can trust that he or she has your best interest in mind. A good therapist will help you find independence in your life while setting healthy boundaries and making positive choices.
