Is counseling something people should participate in only when they really need it? It’s an interesting question to think about. For so long there has been a stigma surrounding the mental health field and counseling. The common view has been that counseling is something only to be pursued as a last resort, or even something to be ashamed of participating in when you do seek it out. Thankfully, in more recent years, society has been shifting away from this view and beginning to take a more open view of seeking counseling and therapy from a professional service.
Thriveworks Roanoke Counseling is at the forefront of this movement – we believe wholeheartedly that seeking counseling and therapy is something to be proud of! Really take a minute to think about some of the times in your past when you sought out help from someone on a challenging issue you were facing, or maybe when you wished you had done so. You’ll agree that the times you partnered with someone else yielded better results than when you struggled through alone. Working with others, especially those who are highly qualified to help you, is a common occurrence outside of the mental health industry. A simple analogy is in sports. We believe that counseling is in many ways similar to coaching – A coach or counselor’s express purpose is to help and instruct people on how to improve. Athletes wouldn’t make it very far without coaches, and the same can be said for us without counsel in other areas of our lives. Our team of Thriveworks Roanoke counselors, therapists, and psychologists is highly experienced in helping people to improve their lives.
You don’t have to live with your challenges and obstacles for the rest of your life simply because you can’t find a way to overcome them on your own. When you partner with a professional Roanoke counselor, you’ll be able to work together to identify the source of your issue, develop coping strategies, set goals for your life, and make real progress in a positive direction! Accepting mediocrity or stagnation in life is nothing to be proud of, but seeking counseling to find your breakthrough, or participating in therapy to improve your life absolutely is!
At Thriveworks Roanoke Counseling and Therapy, we believe that everyone has the capacity to live happy, successful lives. Whether you’re facing serious mental health challenges, or you’re looking for a way to just get that extra few percent out of your life, locking arms with a Thriveworks Roanoke Counselor is for you.
