Why Counseling?
Counseling, also referred to as psychotherapy, is a way to gain personal insight into ourselves and understand ways in which we relate to others and to events in our lives.
Psychotherapy can also be beneficial to those who have experienced traumatic events or relationships. Traumatic events have a way of reshaping our worldview and our capacity to feel safe, regulated, and capable of making effective decisions. Psychotherapy can help you rebuild a sense of trust in yourself and in the world, as well as provide a sense of mastery over the experiences that haunt you.
Also, psychotherapy can be a great support for managing symptoms related to a diagnosed mental illness—depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, etc. Psychotherapy can be extremely helpful avenue to building coping strategies for symptom management, as well as understanding the impact symptoms play in our daily lives and relationships.
