To put it simply, therapy (or counseling) is a safe and confidential place where you are professionally guided to process whatever you're struggling with. The benefit to professional help is that we are highly trained and educated to push you further and deeper to look at how you deal with life on many levels; mentally, emotionally, through choices and behaviors, perception, inter-personally and relationally. We all get stuck in old and dysfunctional ways of thinking, believing, and feeling, which leads to difficulty for us. Therapy is a process and one of the greatest investments you can give yourself to grow! I believe in the art of good things take time, or as Miranda Lambert said "It's all only worth as much as the time you put in".
