How Do I Know I Need Therapy?

Therapy isn’t just for crises, it’s for anyone looking to understand themselves better, manage stress, or navigate life’s challenges. If you’ve been feeling persistent sadness, anxiety, or irritability that interferes with daily life, therapy can help. Strained relationships, difficulty managing work or school, or feeling stuck in old patterns are also signs that talking to a professional could be beneficial.

Individuals from marginalized backgrounds often face additional stressors, like discrimination, microaggressions, or cultural expectations. Therapy can be a safe space to process these experiences, validate your feelings, and develop coping strategies tailored to your identity and circumstances.

You don’t have to wait for a crisis. Therapy can help you build emotional awareness, improve communication skills, and strengthen resilience before challenges become overwhelming. Seeking therapy is not a sign of weakness, it’s a commitment to your wellbeing.

Even one session can provide clarity and relief. If you’ve been wondering whether therapy is for you, consider reaching out to explore how it could support your mental health journey.
