If you think there’s just one reason people turn to counseling or life coaching then you’re in for a surprise. There are literally dozens of reasons people may need to seek help from mental health professionals. For example:
At Thriveworks Counseling in Portland, ME, our team sees people from all walks of life, all with unique problems that need addressing. If you are experiencing challenges in your life that you could use some help with, consider reaching out. We can set you up with a therapist, a counselor, a psychologist, or a life coach upon receipt of your call.
It would be difficult to cover every reason a person pursues counseling or life coaching, but some common reasons include:
Parents also come to us for help with their kids or teens, newly divorced former spouses get help coming to terms with and moving on from their divorce. Clients need anger management, addicts or alcoholics seek treatment for addiction. People going through a significant life transition like losing a job may seek counseling, and others just want general life coaching or help with setting and achieving goals.
If you’ve read through these reasons and are worried that the reasons you want help aren’t covered, worry not: There are many other reasons. Likewise, if you worry that you don’t even know for sure why you need help, or you don’t know how to articulate it, we can help you too. At Thriveworks Portland, we assist people with serious, complicated issues—even when they can’t easily identify what those issues are.
The answer to “Who can therapy help?” is a long-winded one. If you think that you could benefit from some mental health help, therapy can likely help you, too.
Many people spend significant amounts of their lives caring for others, whether it’s their children, their spouses, their parents, or their co-workers. However, those same people often don’t spend nearly as much time taking care of themselves.
Think about it: How long do you spend planning for your own dreams and goals? Many people have put themselves on hold for entirely too long. Too often people simply live with the status quo because they don’t know what to do to move forward, or they don’t know how to do it.
The truth is that you can do more. You can do more. This isn’t your dress rehearsal: It’s your only shot. If now isn’t the time to change, if now isn’t the time to start taking care of yourself, when will it be time? If you’re not working to reach your goals and dreams, who will? Remember that the better you feel and the healthier you are emotionally, the better you will be able to help others in your life.
At Thriveworks Counseling in Portland, ME, we are here to help. We look forward to working with you, helping you identify and achieve your goals, and finally get moving in a direction you’ll be proud of.
If you’d like to schedule counseling services, such as individual counseling, family therapy, or relationship counseling, reach out to Thriveworks in Portland today.
