Why Seek Help?
- A feeling that life could be more satisfying than it is, that you could feel better about yourself, feel less stressed, and more easily reach your potential goals.
- Wanting to feel more effective and comfortable in relationships, wanting to stop repeating the same problems with your partner or your children, parents, coworkers and friends. Wanting to communicate better and resolve conflicts more effectively.
- Feeling stressed and anxious; having difficulties at work or school, problems concentrating or sleeping, fighting with family members, and experiencing failing health.
- Coping with stressful life events such as a relationship breakup or divorce, a chronic or life threatening illness or death of a loved one.
- Feeling as if life is too difficult to manage. Wanting to stop feeling trapped and victimized by your past. Wanting to move beyond haunting memories of early experiences such as growing up in a family with addictions or being abused as a child or adolescent.
- Wanting to gain greater insight into yourself. Wanting to discover why you behave in certain ways and to learn why certain experiences trigger feelings that seem to come from nowhere.
