Life presents challenges every day. While some are exciting and stimulating, some life challenges can feel scary, painful, confusing, or frustrating. We often think that we need to go through difficult times alone. For some, seeking out professional help might stir up feelings of weakness, incompetence, or shame. However, recognizing the need for help and seeking out professional assistance is a sign of both strength and a determination to live an authentic and meaningful life. An effective therapist can provide support and assistance for healing, growth, change, and transformation.
