People compare many things to therapy: hikes in nature, talks with a good friend, meditation, and even confessions to a priest. All those things are great and can be important tools for a good life. But they are not therapy. Let us help you find a therapist. Therapy is a uniquely potent tool for crafting a rich and satisfying life.
Therapy is no quick fix, and its value can’t be assessed on a particular session. In fact, some of the “best” sessions can feel downright heart-breaking. But its goals are fundamental shifts in how we see/experience/think about ourselves, our relationships and existence itself. Therapy is a key tool for changing patterns that hinder our full engagement in living.
