Starting therapy is a big step. You may have feelings of anxiety, depression, grief, or disconnection with others; you may struggle with work or family. Whatever the matter, psychotherapy can be a way to implement change, a way to generate a better understanding of yourself and your place in the world.

There seems to be an expectation when asked “How are you doing?” that only a positive response is invited. If we’re all “good”, why are many of us actually feeling bad? Psychotherapy provides a space where what you are truly feeling will be heard.

Looking inside yourself requires courage. Therapy offers you the opportunity to share your experiences with someone who is trained to listen in an empathetic and focused way.

Perhaps you have been feeling dissatisfied or stuck in a rut; or you may be thinking that there must be more to life, or feeling overwhelmed by life’s inevitable challenges. Starting the process of therapy can be a powerful step towards changing your life.

Creating lasting change can sometimes be difficult without help. We may not even know where to start. Therapy is a way to start, and a way of helping to bring about change.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to shed old, unhelpful ways of being for more authentic forms of connecting. Recognizing your own patterns, let alone changing them, can be difficult without support.

Talking to friends or family is different from speaking with a therapist. With a therapist, you connect to strengths you may have lost along the way; you develop the capacity to calm and regulate your nervous system.

“Human beings have an inbuilt propensity toward self-realization. If obstacles are removed, the individual will develop into a mature, fully realized adult, just as an acorn will develop into an oak tree.“ – Irvin D. Yalom,The Gift of Therapy

“There is nothing so stable as change.” –Bob Dylan Change is inevitable. This can be frightening to acknowledge, but the ability to think, feel, and connect in new ways brings excitement that can be greater than fear.
