Therapy is *not* Embarrassing

When I was experiencing depression after college, I know I needed help, but didn't know how to get it. I didn't know how to start healing or if I even wanted to.

My best friend started gently nudging me to begin therapy. I was not open to it. I saw it as embarrassing. I was scared of what it would do. I didn't know what to expect.

After the gentle nudging did not work on me, she boldly told me I had to for my own health and well-being. She was concerned about me and told me exactly that. I made the jump.

Let me say: I am so glad I jumped.



Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or any other mental health issue, therapy can help you navigate your thoughts and emotions in a healthy and productive way. A therapist can help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop coping strategies, and work through past traumas that may be impacting your mental health.

Isn't that amazing? A mental healthcare professional can help you with healthy coping mechanisms to get through life's obstacles. You can learn how to manage stress, improve relationships, and build self-esteem.

One of the greatest powers of therapy is its ability to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your innermost thoughts and feelings. I love it.

You are never alone and therapy can be an incredible reminder of that exact truth.

There is no shame in seeking out therapy. It is not embarrassing. It is brave. It's empowering. It's something to be proud of and to seek after.

If you are struggling with your mental health, it's time to take the jump and consider reaching out to a therapist for mental health support.

I believe in you!
