Therapy is a place where you can stop, look, listen, take your time, and notice more about what’s going on in and around you. While what brings each person into therapy may be different, the goal is constant: to better understand oneself and through this understanding to increase satisfaction in work, school, activities, and relationships, and to create positive and lasting change. With time, excessive worry, depression, and other painful experiences often decrease, while our ability to partake in and enjoy work, play, and love increases. The frequency and duration of therapy depends on one’s goals; for example, one person may seek short-term therapy due to transition, worry, conflict, or desiring more creativity and personal agency, while another may pursue more frequent or longer-term treatment to address emotional pain, an addiction history, or patterns of difficulty in relationships.
