Service introduction

People come to therapy to feel better and to overcome life challenges, but often without a clear sense of how that will happen. While everyone’s therapy will be unique depending on their histories and their needs, there are a few basic ways that therapy tends to promote well-being. Therapy can help us learn concrete skills to cope with our emotions. This may include: • Learning to better label what it is we are feeling and why • Learning how to challenge negative assumptions that generate some of our painful feelings • Learning how to break out of negative cycles of behavior that reinforce painful feelings. As we are able to implement these coping skills, we start to feel more in control of our lives and more confident.
