Olivia can no longer look at herself in the mirror. Literally. She feels so insecure about the way she looks that she turns away whenever she sees her reflection. Olivia has always been a little insecure about her looks, but it’s never been this bad before. She finds herself comparing her face and body to the hundreds of wealthy influencers she follows on social media. She feels like she’ll never be pretty enough or fit enough to achieve her goals in life.
Olivia feels like she’s losing control. She can’t seem to stay off social media, even though scrolling for hours always makes her feel worse about herself. She has started drinking too much, alone, as a coping mechanism for her insecurity. She knows these behaviors are unhealthy, even maladaptive, but she’s embarrassed to open up to her friends about her private feelings and habits, and she doesn’t know where else to turn.
But Olivia isn’t helpless. She can take control of the situation by scheduling a personal counseling appointment with a caring, supportive, top-rated mental health provider at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Lakewood. The counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists at Thriveworks have the expertise to help clients identify roadblocks in their lives. They can provide practical resources to help tackle the obstacles together. They are trained to listen closely and provide valuable insights into all kinds of mental health puzzles.
Match with a Mental Health Provider Who Can Help
Humans are complex, social, and emotional creatures. And the modern world is full of unprecedented challenges for our sensitive psyches. That’s why it makes sense to reach out to a mental health professional at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Lakewood. There is someone out there for you. Here are some examples of successful matches made between clients and Thriveworks providers:
- A client with PTSD and a therapist who specializes in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
- A client stuck in a cycle of bingeing and purging and a counselor who specializes in eating disorders
- A client with a vague sense of dissatisfaction and burnout and a clinical social worker (LCSW)
- A client with crippling agoraphobia and a psychologist who specializes in exposure therapy
- A client in a major depressive episode and a psychiatrist who can prescribe medication
- A client who doesn’t know whether to change careers at age 40 and a life coach
Your life’s unique challenges probably don’t fit neatly into a box. Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Lakewood can treat the whole person, not just a specific mental health problem or disorder. They can get to know you and provide support for anything you might be dealing with, large or small. Nothing is too insignificant to bring up in therapy.
When Is It Time to Seek Counseling?
It’s time to seek counseling when you feel that you’re not functioning as well as you should in your life. Maybe you feel like something is missing. Or maybe you feel anxious or overwhelmed more often than not. In any case, something is blocking you from living at a +10 on a 0-10 scale. You want more out of life. Individual, family, couples, or marriage counseling can help.
Choosing to see a therapist is a very personal decision. The benefits can be enormous. When you begin working with a Thriveworks mental health expert, your provider might ask questions about the following facets of your life:
- Relationships
- Spirituality
- Family
- Health
- Career
- Goals
- Struggles
- Fears
- Sleep
- Eating
- Sex
- Medication
- Hobbies
Chances are, all these areas of your life are somehow interconnected, and your honest answers can help you and your therapist collaborate on a vision for success.
