Everyone can benefit from having someone to talk to in a safe and comfortable environment. Difficulties with life are universal, whether one struggles with work, career direction, addiction, relationships, communication, sexuality, discovering and pursuing one's interests and passions, creating and following through with goals, weight and body issues, self esteem, anxiety or depression. Our friends and family may have good intentions (though not always); usually, they are biased or may want to shift the conversation to talk about themselves. Therapy is a special opportunity to focus on oneself and have the support, attention and incisiveness of a trained individual.
