If you were to ask your friends, family members, and colleagues whether they think mental health should be a priority, you probably wouldn’t get much pushback. Taking a little time for yourself so you can recharge and feel better — how can anyone argue with that?
Well, actions speak louder than words. Despite millions of Americans facing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues, many don’t seek out the help of a licensed professional. They hide their feelings, choosing to struggle silently instead. This is particularly tragic because so many mental illnesses are highly treatable.
It’s easy to take our mental and emotional well-being for granted when things are going well. But what happens when your relationships start to sour? What happens when difficult symptoms of mental illness interfere with your ability to live life to the fullest?
If you’re experiencing problems that you can’t seem to deal with on your own, there is no shame in seeking the help of an experienced professional. Everyone needs a little support sometimes, and our licensed counselors, therapists, psychiatrists, and psychologists have helped countless individuals get their lives back on track.

Top Reasons To Pursue Counseling Services
It’s common for us to compare our issues to other people’s trials and tribulations. While this can help us empathize, it can also make you feel less deserving of professional support.
How often have you said, “Well, at least I don’t have…” and proceeded to compare yourself to someone worse off? Here’s the truth: Just because someone else is suffering doesn’t mean you can’t be suffering too. Just because you’re not struggling with suicidal thoughts doesn’t make your symptoms any less important or less valid.
While counselors do work with clients experiencing self-destructive behaviors and panic attacks, they also provide invaluable assistance to those struggling with long-term anxiety, depression, grief, low self-worth, and so much more.
Here are a few of the most common reasons individuals seek out counseling services:
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Panic attacks
- Eating disorders
- Substance abuse and addiction
- Poor self-esteem
- Family or relationship problems
- General feelings of dissatisfaction or hopelessness
- Death of a loved one
- Major life transitions
Whether you find yourself in one of these situations or you’re struggling in another area related to your mental well-being, you don’t have to tackle it alone. Get in touch with a licensed mental health counselor at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry El Dorado Hills today and take the first step toward a healthier life.
Would I Benefit From Working With a Psychiatrist?
While counselors, social workers, and psychologists are all equipped to help clients overcome mental health issues, psychiatrists are unique in their medical education. They can provide a valuable perspective on mental health issues that may be causing physical symptoms as well.
After assessing your symptoms, a psychiatrist can determine the best course of action to help you get back on track. Some clients require medication while others require psychotherapy or another form of talk therapy. Some may benefit from self-care recommendations while others may require exposure therapy to overcome their phobias and fears.
Your psychiatrist can work with you to identify the best treatment plan and, if you do require medication, they can monitor for any side effects or changes to your symptoms along the way.
