Is My Problem "Worthy" of Therapy?


I get asked this question all the time. Clients make statements like, "You must hear things SO much worse than my problem," or "You must think I'm crazy for spending money on a problem as insignificant as mine."

If the problem is plaguing you and you're having difficulty overcoming the problem by yourself, then it is worthy of therapy. Therapy isn't limited to people with major mental health disorders or to people who are suicidal. Therapy is for anyone who needs support or an outsider's view of the issue. No problem is significant. If it's bothering you, then it's worth exploring and overcoming.

Someone once told me, "I always thought you had to be crazy to come to therapy. Now I realize you'd have to be crazy not to seek therapy!" Why go through a tough time by yourself? You have the right to have a fulfilling life.

If you feel you aren't satisfied and you're ready to explore avenues to achieve the lifestyle you hope for, then pick up the phone and begin your journey!
