Most people can benefit from therapy at least some point in their lives. Sometimes the signs are obvious, but at other times, something may feel slightly off and you can’t figure out what it is. So you trudge on, trying to sustain your busy life until it sets in that life has become unmanageable. Before it gets to this point, here are five signs that indicate you may need help from a pro:
1. Feeling sad, angry, or otherwise “not yourself.”
2. Abusing drugs, alcohol, food, or sex to cope.
3. You’ve lost someone or something important to you.
4. Something traumatic has happened.
5. You can’t do the things you like to do.
Marriage and family therapists and Licensed Clinical Social Workers are able to provide counseling services for Individuals of all ages, couples, and families.
