In the ebb and flow of life, we often find ourselves caught in the currents, unsure of how to navigate the waters ahead. It's in these moments that seeking guidance can be exactly what we need. I'm Dr. Suzanne M. Adams, a licensed clinical psychologist with over 17 years of experience, dedicated to supporting individuals as they embark on their journey of self-discovery and healing. Today, I'd like to talk about the four signs indicating therapy might be the right step for you.
1. Feeling Overwhelmed or Stuck
Life doesn’t come with a manual, and there are times when the sheer weight of our emotions, responsibilities, or decisions can feel overwhelming. If you find yourself feeling stuck, as if you're running in place and not making any progress, it might be a sign to seek support. Therapy provides a space to unpack these feelings, understand their roots, and develop strategies to move forward with confidence.
2. Persistent Sadness, Anxiety, or Indifference
It's natural to experience a range of emotions through life's ups and downs. However, if you notice a persistent feeling of sadness, anxiety, or even indifference that doesn’t seem to lift, it may be indicative of a deeper issue. Therapy offers a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where these emotions can be explored safely, and coping mechanisms can be built to navigate through them.
3. Struggling with Relationships
Relationships are fundamental to our well-being, but they can also be sources of great distress. Whether it's difficulties in forming new relationships, maintaining existing ones, or dealing with the aftermath of broken connections, these struggles can significantly impact your happiness. Therapy can help you understand your relationship patterns, improve your communication skills, and foster healthier, more fulfilling connections.
4. You’re Curious About Self-Discovery
Therapy isn't only for those who are struggling, it's also for those curious about themselves and eager to grow. Therapy can be an enriching experience. It offers a unique space for self-reflection and growth, guided by a professional.
At my practice, I pride myself on creating a warm and welcoming environment for all. With dual licensure in California and New York, I've had the privilege of working with a wide range of individuals, each with their own unique story and set of challenges.
