Life can be very stressful at times and everyone has times when day to day problems start to seem too big. Coping with changes in your life such as moving, loss of a job, children being born or leaving home, death of a loved one, divorce or conflicts in relationship can leave you feeling depressed or overwhelmed. At times like this seeking counseling can help. However, many people cannot or will not seek the help of a mental health professional. The reasons vary from financial and time considerations to being too embarrassed or nervous to see someone in person. Most clients who actually make it to therapy are glad they did. Therapy can help shorten the time it takes to get through hard times and it is nice to feel supported through the process of change.
