Even though Iris normally considers herself a positive person, she’s felt stuck in a slump for several months. After having lost her mother in the spring, her summer has felt like most of the joy has been sucked out. And despite her deep-seated sense of loss and grief, the world continues to turn. Friends and family, even, seem to be moving on and returning to their normal lives and sense of balance.
Because she feels like the only one still processing what happened, Iris is considering whether talking with a psychologist could help her cope. Iris hasn’t talked with a mental health professional before, but recently, she’s started to warm up to the subject. Having done some research online, she’s discovering that there could be a lot of benefits to her opening to someone about the issues that are troubling her. While it’s difficult knowing that her mother is gone, Iris knows that prioritizing her mental health needs could help her appreciate the relationships and people she still has in her life.

Regardless of your age, background, or lifestyle, we believe that connecting with one of our mental health professionals can benefit you.
