How to Know If Therapy Is Right for You

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and let’s be real—it’s not always an easy decision. Maybe you’re wondering, Do I really need therapy? Is what I’m going through “bad enough” to see someone? The truth? Therapy isn’t just for those in crisis. It’s for anyone who wants to better understand themselves, work through challenges, and feel more grounded in their life.


If you’re on the fence about therapy, here are a few signs that it might be worth exploring.



1. You Feel Stuck

Ever feel like you’re running in circles with the same thoughts, patterns, or situations? Maybe you keep ending up in toxic relationships, struggling with self-doubt, or dealing with stress that never really goes away. Therapy can help you break those cycles, get unstuck, and move forward in a way that actually feels good.


2. Your Emotions Feel Like… A Lot

Maybe your anxiety is through the roof, your stress feels unmanageable, or you find yourself snapping at the people around you (even when you don’t mean to). On the flip side, maybe you feel completely numb or disconnected. Therapy gives you space to unpack all of it—the highs, the lows, and everything in between.



3. Your Relationships Feel Tense or Draining

Whether it’s your partner, friends, family, or even coworkers, relationships can be complicated. If you find yourself constantly frustrated, misunderstood, or emotionally exhausted from dealing with others, therapy can help you work on communication, boundaries, and self-awareness—so you can feel more in control of how you show up in your relationships.


4. Stress, Anxiety, or Low Mood Is Running the Show

Feeling overwhelmed all the time isn’t just a “normal part of life.” If your stress or anxiety is affecting your sleep, focus, or general happiness, it might be time to talk to someone. Same goes for depression, burnout, or feelings of hopelessness—you don’t have to go through it alone.


5. You’ve Been Through a Big Life Change

Life can throw some serious curveballs—breakups, grief, career changes, family struggles. Even “good” changes (like a new job or moving to a new city) can bring up unexpected emotions. Therapy gives you the space to process everything at your own pace and figure out what comes next.


6. You Want to Know Yourself Better

Therapy isn’t just about “fixing” something—it’s also about learning and growing. If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, questioning who you are, or just want to be more intentional about your life, therapy can help you build self-awareness and confidence in who you are.



Okay… But What Happens Next?

If any of this resonates with you, therapy might be a good step. And if you’re unsure, that’s okay too! The first session is really just a conversation—it’s a chance to see if it feels like a good fit and get a sense of how therapy can support you.
