Why do people seek therapy?

Therapy can help when you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or struggling to manage emotions. It provides support for navigating challenges in relationships, fostering meaningful connections, and improving communication.

It offers a space for self-reflection, helping you rediscover your values, process significant life events, and adapt to major transitions like career changes or loss.

Therapy is a valuable tool for addressing unhealthy coping mechanisms, building self-confidence, and fostering a healthier relationship with yourself. It provides a safe, non-judgmental environment to explore feelings and grow emotionally.
