Why Choose Psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is a good choice when you are experiencing a crisis, such as loss of a loved one, job termination, or severe illness. You may feel dissatisfied with your career, your relationships, or your level of motivation. Psychotherapy helps you learn to cope, regain your equilibrium, and make needed changes in your life.

Psychotherapy also can help when you have feelings of sadness, emptiness, hopelessness, anger, guilt or anxiety. Extended periods of irritability, excessive worry or fatigue may signal the need for professional counseling.

As an individual, or as a member of a family or couple, you may be struggling with your parenting or partnering abilities. Couples and families often go through transition periods, making them especially vulnerable to difficulties. These include:

• new marriages/partnerships
  
• new parenthood
  
• formation of stepfamilies
  
• infertility
  
• separation/divorce

Psychotherapy—either brief, solution-focused or exploratory—can ease major life transitions and provide helpful preventive education.
