Do I Need Therapy?

01

How am I doing (functioning)?

When wondering if my "stuff" is serious enough to go to therapy, ask yourself just a few simple questions... 

Am I satisfied in most areas of my life?  Sleep is great, work and finances are great, I'm eating healthily and feeling energized, my relationships are healthy, my mood is regulated, my thoughts are positive and I feel joy and fulfillment regularly!  

Obviously this is generalizing many areas, but if you're sensing a decline or serious dip in any area, it's never too small to discuss in therapy.

02

Am I empowered?

Do I need to learn more about myself (my diagnosis, my medication, my coping skills, my personality, my stress or trauma responses, what delights me, what I fear, my future) to continue on my journey and live my best life?  Psychoeducation and psychotherapy is life changing when it unlocks language, understanding, and empowers us to enact the changes we need to improve our lives.  Nothing can stop you now!

03

Do I like me?

Whoo Chile... 

I know that's a deep one (core beliefs). 

  • Self-love and self-worth

  • Healing past and present wounds

  • Processing family history and past and present dynamics

  • Being the parent I want to be

  • Living a fulfilled life?

Anxiety for Black Women

We see anxiety portrayed on TV and we think we know what it’s like but it can look and feel very different than expected.  Anxiety is a complex and often overwhelming emotional state characterized by feelings of unease, worry, and apprehension. It can manifest in various ways, including physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, and trembling, as well as psychological symptoms like excessive fear, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating. Anxiety can be triggered by specific situations or be present as a generalized sense of unease. It can interfere with daily activities, relationships, and overall well-being, making it challenging to fully engage in and enjoy life.

Personal Growth for Black Women

Personal growth in therapy refers to the transformative process individuals undergo when engaging in therapeutic interventions and self-reflection. Therapy provides a supportive and confidential environment for individuals to explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, gaining a deeper understanding of themselves. Through this introspection, individuals can identify and challenge limiting beliefs, unhealthy patterns, and unresolved traumas. Therapy encourages self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the development of coping strategies, empowering individuals to make positive changes in their lives. It promotes the cultivation of healthy relationships, increased self-esteem, and the acquisition of effective problem-solving skills. Ultimately, personal growth in therapy involves embracing self-discovery, building resilience, and achieving a greater sense of fulfillment and well-being
