How to Know When It’s Time to Seek Therapy

Many people wonder whether their struggles are “serious enough” to warrant therapy. The truth is, you don’t need to wait until a crisis hits to benefit from professional support. Therapy is for anyone seeking growth, healing, or clarity in their life.

Signs It May Be Time to Talk to a Therapist:

• Persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or hopelessness

• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

• Withdrawing from social situations or relationships

• Changes in sleep or appetite

• Feeling overwhelmed by daily responsibilities

• Using substances to cope with stress or emotions

• Difficulty recovering from a loss, breakup, or trauma

Therapy Isn’t Just for “Big Problems”

Seeking therapy doesn’t mean something is “wrong” with you. It means you’re prioritizing your mental and emotional health. Whether you're navigating stress at work, struggling with self-esteem, or going through a major life change, therapy can help you process and grow.

Early Support Is Preventative Care

Just as you visit a doctor for a physical checkup, you can talk to a therapist to maintain your emotional well-being. The earlier you reach out, the easier it is to prevent issues from becoming more severe.

You don’t have to struggle alone. Therapy is a safe space to explore, heal, and feel heard.
