Recognizing when it's time to seek professional help can be challenging. Learn about the common signs that indicate therapy could benefit your mental health and well-being.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving Chicago I often see people hesitant to begin mental health services. The truth is, you don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Mental health support can be valuable at any stage of life, whether you're dealing with specific challenges or simply want to improve your overall well-being.
This guide will help you recognize the signs that indicate therapy could be beneficial, understand when it's time to seek professional help, and learn how therapy can support your mental health journey. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
These signs don't mean something is "wrong" with you - they indicate areas where professional support could be beneficial
