Is therapy right for me?

Seeking therapy is an individual choice.  There are many reasons why someone might seek therapy services for themself or their child.  Therapy can help with the challenges associated with anger, depression, trauma, anxiety, or behavioral concerns.  Therapy can also support someone or a family through unexpected life changes or transitions.   Working with a therapist can help provide insight, support, and give you new strategies for all types of life challenges. 

Therapy services might be beneficial if your symptoms are affecting your day to day functioning.
