When to Seek Support

You do not have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Consider reaching out when:

  • You feel stuck or tired of suffering
  • You or someone who loves you notices you are not your usual self
  • Someone who loves you, or whose opinion you respect, suggests you should
  • What you are doing is not working and you do not know what to do next
  • Symptoms such as worry, sadness, stress, or low motivation are interfering with your life
  • You are starting to feel like a danger to yourself or others
  • You feel misunderstood
  • You are experiencing a life-changing transition
  • Your relationships feel unsatisfying and you want to improve them
  • You feel out of control or on autopilot, unsure where you are going or why
  • You feel confused about your identity in terms of gender, culture, religion, or sexual orientation

Our therapists help with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, and many other conditions through individual, couples, family, and group therapy.
