People have many different reasons for coming to psychotherapy. Motivation may be going through a major life transition (unemployment, divorce, new job, etc.) or not dealing with stressful circumstances well. Some people need assistance coping with a range of other issues such as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, spiritual conflicts, and creative blocks. Therapy can help you with some much needed encouragement and help with skills to get you through these periods. Others may be at a point where they are ready to learn more about themselves or want to be more effective with their goals in life. In short, people seeking psychotherapy are ready to meet the challenges in their lives and are ready to make changes in their lives. There are times when we all can benefit from learning new skills. Even therapists go to therapy!
