FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

IS THERAPY FOR ME?

Therapy can be for anyone — it’s not just for people in crisis. The better question might
be - "Would I benefit from talking to someone trained to help me understand myself, manage challenges, or grow?"

Here’s a quick self-check. If you say “yes” or even “maybe” to any of these, therapy
could be worth exploring:

Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or down more often than not?
Are you dealing with stress, grief, or a big life change?
Do you find yourself stuck in patterns (like overthinking, people-pleasing, self-doubt, or avoiding things)?
Are your relationships (with others or yourself) strained or confusing?
Do you want to better understand your emotions, habits, or past experiences?
Do you often feel alone in what you're going through — or unsure how to talk about it with people close to you?

If any of those resonate, therapy is definitely for you — not because you're broken, but
because you're human.

HOW CAN A THERAPIST HELP ME?

They provide a safe, judgment-free space -

You can say things you might not feel comfortable telling friends or family — and know it won’t be used against you, dismissed, or minimized.

They help you understand what’s going on beneath the surface -
Therapists are trained to spot patterns, beliefs, and emotional wounds you might not see clearly. They can help you connect the dots between your past and present, so you can respond to life with more awareness and choice.

They give you tools and coping strategies -
Whether it’s anxiety, burnout, low self-esteem, trauma, or relationship issues, therapists offer specific skills for managing emotions, communicating better, setting boundaries, or shifting thought patterns.

They support personal growth -
Therapy isn’t just about “fixing” something. It can help you:

 Build self-confidence
 Explore your identity or values
 Make decisions with more clarity
 Learn how to relate to others (and yourself) with more honesty and kindness

They walk with you, not ahead of you -
Good therapists don’t tell you what to do. They help you explore what you want, need, and believe — and they support your process at your pace.
