Therapy offers numerous benefits that can improve overall wellbeing and mental health. Working with a licensed therapist provides a safe space to process emotions, gain insights about yourself, and develop healthy coping strategies. Below are some of the top reasons to consider starting therapy:
Helps Improve Mental Health Conditions
Therapy is highly effective at treating common mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and more. A therapist will provide tools to manage symptoms, get to the root of issues, and develop healthier thought patterns. Many people find regular therapy helps keep conditions like depression or anxiety from worsening over time.
Develop Healthy Coping Skills
Life presents inevitable stressors and problems at times. Therapy equips you with healthy coping skills so you can better handle challenges when they arise. Rather than turn to unhealthy habits, you'll learn techniques like mindfulness, thought challenging, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and more. This helps build resilience over time.
Gain Self-Knowledge and Insights
Exploring your inner thoughts, emotions, and experiences in therapy leads to major self-discovery and insights. Over time, you gain deeper knowledge of what drives or triggers you, how to nurture yourself, and tools for building the life you want. This self-knowledge ripples out to improve all areas of life.
Provides Supportive Accountability
It helps to have the consistent support of a therapist to achieve your goals or desired change. Therapy provides gentle accountability each week to check in on progress. You're encouraged to take small steps forward and celebrated for each accomplishment. This accountability structure helps sustain motivation over time.
Process Trauma or Grief
Trauma and grief can be some of life's most painful experiences. Therapy offers a space to process these events at your own pace in a healthy way. You'll be guided to approach trauma or grief with compassion rather than avoidance. This allows you to move forward into a life no longer defined by the past.
LGBTQ+ affirming therapy
The LGBTQ+ community faces unique challenges that can impact mental health and wellbeing. Seeking LGBTQ-affirming therapy can provide a safe, welcoming environment to process these experiences. Our therapists understand the nuances of gender identity and sexual orientation. We create an open, non-judgmental space for clients to share their story. Therapy can help LGBTQ+ individuals with:
Coming out and getting support from family/friends
Processing discrimination, bullying, or trauma
Building self-esteem and overcoming shame
Exploring gender identity
Making healthy relationship decisions
Managing anxiety or depression
Coping strategies for minority stress
You deserve to feel accepted and understood. Our LGBTQ-affirming services provide the compassionate care you need to live your truth. Contact us today to get started in a safe, welcoming environment.
Financial therapy in Connecticut
Financial therapy is a relatively new field that combines financial counseling with psychological therapy. The goal is to help people improve their financial behaviors by understanding the underlying emotional and psychological factors influencing them.
Many people struggle with problematic money behaviors like overspending, undersaving, avoiding budgets, or having constant financial anxiety. These often stem from deeper issues like low self-worth, childhood experiences, relationship dynamics, trauma, or mental health conditions. Financial therapy helps uncover and address the root causes.
In financial therapy sessions, clients work with us to:
Explore their personal history and experiences around money
Identify unhelpful narratives, assumptions, and habits
Process difficult emotions like guilt, shame, fear, or scarcity mindsets
Build self-awareness, self-esteem, and self-efficacy with finances
Establish healthy boundaries and dynamics within financial relationships
Create meaningful, customized goals for financial health
Develop strategies for improved financial behaviors and decision-making
The ultimate aim is to help you heal your relationship with money, gain financial empowerment, and make wise financial choices aligned with your values. Financial therapy allows people to not just fix their finances, but fix the underlying issues causing financial stress in the first place.
