If you’re considering therapy, chances are there are aspects of your life that aren’t going well. Maybe your relationships are unfulfilling. Maybe you’re having a hard time adjusting to a change or traumatic experience. Maybe you’ve been feeling down, on edge, defeated, or inadequate. Maybe you’re not even sure why, but you know you’re not as satisfied as you want to be. Therapy is a place where you can better understand the issues that are getting in the way of your happiness, explore options for a more fulfilling future, and get support as you contemplate change or adjust to a difficult reality.
