“In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?”
-Carl Rogers

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or any other form of mental illness, therapy is a great choice. Therapy is an effective, non-invasive treatment option that has a substantial amount of evidence supporting its efficacy. Even if you do not struggle with mental illness, therapy can be an option to discuss the stressors of life, learn healthy coping mechanisms, or provide a sounding board that may be lacking in your present social circles. Therapy can be short term or long; it can be "by the book," and have strong guiding principles and exercises, or it can be non-directive and you explore what you feel you need to explore.
