How therapy helps

Ultimately, therapy is about growth and creating opportunities for positive change.And in addition to improving traditional mental health struggles, therapy can also be a powerful and efficient way to make progress on personal goals or aspirations.

Therapy and growth

By framing therapy in terms of what we need rather than what we could benefit from, many people experience too much shame or embarrassment to try it.Not everybody needs therapy. But just because you don’t need something doesn’t mean you couldn’t benefit from it.
