When we stop to think about our mental health needs, they can seem hard to identify. Unlike our physical health, which we know requires things like exercise and healthy food, our mental health requirements might be a little fuzzy in comparison. For some of us, this uncertainty often comes from the cultural stigma that surrounds mental health topics. This stigma can be harmful when it keeps us from addressing issues that are causing damage to ourselves and the people around us.
At Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Lubbock, getting support from a mental health professional is something that we view as a proactive step. It’s not something that takes away your independence, especially when choosing to connect with one of our providers can improve many aspects of your life.
For those who are busy, it may feel impractical, even selfish, to prioritize your mental well-being. But in reality, we often are not able to be fully present and at full capacity in our daily lives if we ignore the issues that are bothering us on the inside. Getting therapy or psychiatric care at our Lubbock office is a simple, effective, and convenient way to meet your mental health care needs. Give us a call at (806) 507-6934 to get started, or schedule online today.
