Making the choice to begin therapy is often difficult. To assess if psychotherapy is right for you try answering the following questions:

• Am I sad, lonely, depressed, anxious, irritable, or fearful most of the time?
• Have I lost pleasure in activities I once enjoyed?
• Am I confused and not sure what direction to go in my life?
• Do I feel misunderstood by peers, friends or family members?

• Am I confused and not sure what direction to go in my life?
• Do I feel misunderstood by peers, friends or family members?

• Do I have difficulty maintaining interpersonal relationships?

• Have others noticed my maladaptive behaviors and suggested therapy?
• Do I have thoughts about suicide or dying?
• Am I going through a big life transition such a moving, a divorce, starting college, or care-taking for a family member who is elderly or with mental or physical illness?
• Does my child have behavioral issues that are disrupting the family?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, individual psychotherapy, couples counseling, or family therapy might be for you. You can benefit from having a non- judgmental, empathetic supportive person to listen to your thoughts and feelings and offer advice or ideas to change your situation. It’s natural to still have fears and questions concerning psychotherapy, after all it’s a scary thought to decide to open up and tell a complete stranger all your “secrets.” Therapy is a process and you can start at a pace that is most comfortable for you. A competent therapist will address all of your questions and concerns with you prior to and throughout your therapeutic process.
