No, seeking counseling does not make you weak. Many of us grew up hearing that therapy was for ‘other’ people and that the need for therapy means that you are defective in some way. It’s 100% normal to feel hesitant and nervous about making that initial call to start therapy. Many people feel nervous, self-conscious, or downright ashamed about what it means to “need therapy.” Simply put, therapy is a tool. It is one of many tools that can help a person navigate everyday life challenges. Although therapy is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’, I work hard to tailor my approach to fit your specific needs as they arise during our time together.
