Frequently asked question

You might benefit from psychological counseling if you experience any of the following:

• Persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or overwhelm: If you feel down, anxious, or stressed most days, counseling can help you explore underlying causes and develop coping strategies.
• Difficulty managing stress: If life’s challenges (work, family, relationships) feel overwhelming, counseling can provide support and teach stress management techniques.
• Changes in sleep or appetite: Difficulty sleeping, eating too much or too little, or unexplained fatigue can be signs of emotional or psychological distress.
• Struggling with relationships: If you frequently have conflicts, feel isolated, or experience relationship difficulties, therapy can help improve communication and interpersonal skills.
• Trauma or loss: Experiencing a major loss, trauma, or life transition (death, divorce, job loss) can be overwhelming, and counseling can help with grief and adjustment.
• Inability to function in daily life: If emotional or psychological challenges are interfering with work, social life, or self-care, counseling might help restore balance.
• Unhealthy coping mechanisms: Turning to substances, overeating, or other destructive behaviors to cope with emotional pain is a sign that professional support could be beneficial.
• Feeling stuck or hopeless: If you feel like your situation won’t improve or you’ve tried to solve problems without success, counseling can offer new perspectives and solutions.
• If any of these resonate with you, it might be a good idea to consider speaking with a counselor for further assessment and support.
