Therapy for Adults
We offer therapy for adults and older adults. Therapy is more than just talking to someone about your problems. Therapy (also called psychotherapy) uses the therapeutic relationship to help you understand why you act and feel the way you do. It also teaches you how to act and react in ways that better align with your personal values and goals.
Our highly trained and compassionate professionals can help you retake control of your life. We offer a safe, neutral, and nonjudgmental space where you can repair, heal, learn, and grow.
Four Situations When Therapy Is Beneficial
Therapy is beneficial in many circumstances. Below, we list four reasons that adults and older adults schedule therapy appointments at our clinics.
You Are Willing and Able
Everyone can benefit from psychotherapy. It only takes your willingness and the ability to be an active participant in the therapeutic process.
You Are Struggling
Another reason to consider therapy is if you:
- Feel overwhelmed or hopeless.
- Think about a single issue for an hour or more each day.
- Feel embarrassed, shameful, or guilty.
- Start avoiding people and social situations.
- Sleep or worry excessively, or have difficulties getting restful sleep.
You’re Experiencing Day-to-Day Stressors
Your mental and physical wellness are linked. However, many people don’t consider how life’s stresses may be eroding their psychological and physical health. If you are experiencing day-to-day stressors that affect your physical or mental health, therapy may provide relief.
You’re Experiencing Changed or New Circumstances
Changed or new circumstances in adulthood can often signal that psychotherapy may be particularly beneficial.
Everyday Stressors and Circumstances That Therapy Helps
Examples of circumstances or stressors that can make life challenging include:
- Grief or loss because of a death, relationship rift, or geographic separation.
- Major life transitions, such as retirement or another change in your living situation, relationship, or employment.
- Adjusting to a difficult healthcare diagnosis or illness.
- Coping with caregiving responsibilities.
- A history of trauma (physical or emotional).
- Something that is negatively affecting your school, job, or a relationship.
- A sudden or gradual decrease in your quality of life.
- Cognitive decline due to a medical condition.
If you are experiencing a cognitive decline or are worried about memory issues, a neuropsychological evaluation may be helpful.
