When is it time to see someone?

There’s no perfect time to start therapy, but if you’ve found yourself wondering whether counseling could help, that question alone is often a sign that it’s worth exploring.

You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable. Therapy can help at any point, whether you’re managing daily stress, facing a major life change, or trying to heal from something deeper.

Just because you begin doesn’t mean you’re committing forever. You can pause, stop, or shift at any time. This process is yours to guide, and you get to decide what feels right for you.

When to Reach Out

  • You’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck

  • You’ve been through something painful or traumatic

  • Your relationships feel strained or unfulfilling

  • You want to better understand yourself and how you respond to the world

  • You’re struggling with self-esteem or negative thoughts

  • You're not enjoying activities that previously brought you joy

  • You're having difficulty staying centered in the present because of painful memories or anxious fears for the future

  • Family or friends have encouraged you to consider this
