Why is this happening to me? Why is my life always like this? Why can’t I feel better? If only… If these thoughts or thoughts like these are becoming more insistent in your thinking, you might be considering psychotherapy as a means to changing your life and feeling better.

People seek psychotherapy for many reasons, and at many different points in their lives. Most typically, a person will seek treatment when he or she recognizes that the distress that is experienced can not be relieved by one’s efforts alone. Recognizing the distress and seeking help are the first steps towards making changes to help you feel better.

Whether the onset of symptoms is gradual or sudden, symptoms have often taken some time to form and many are rooted in childhood. The success of psychotherapy depends, in part, on a willingness to examine, address and speak about one’s life. The confidential relationship between patient and therapist is a key element in developing the trust necessary for treatment to be effective. Therapy works to help expand the choices and options available to you and allow your life to unfold differently.
