Therapy is like looking in a mirror, helping you see and address the things that are not fitting in your life. It is beneficial to seek therapy when you notice something is off or stuck, even if you're not in a crisis. Therapy can provide comfort and education, helping you develop the skills and resources to navigate difficult times. There are three main reasons people seek therapy: when they want to work on a specific problem or pattern of behavior, when they are going through a difficult time like grief, and when they are ready to address deeper issues like trauma. It is best to seek therapy when you are in a relatively good place and have the mental fortitude and internal resources to do the work. But even if you don't have these things, a therapist can and will work with you and Dr. Natalie helps us to see some of the ways they will do this.
