Who’s therapy for?

Short answer? Everyone.

I truly believe that every person can benefit from therapy in one way or another. Over the years, I’ve yet to meet someone who didn’t have something they could gain from having a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk, reflect, and grow.

Therapy isn’t only for moments of crisis or for people who feel completely overwhelmed. It can be helpful during life’s hardest seasons, but it can also be a powerful tool during times of transition, growth, or quiet self-reflection.

Therapy Is for More Than “Fixing” Problems

Many people come to therapy because they’re having a hard time and that’s a very valid reason to start. But therapy isn’t just about fixing what’s “wrong.” It’s also about learning how to care for yourself more intentionally.

Therapy can help you:

• Learn what self-care actually looks like for you

• Practice prioritizing your own needs without guilt

• Better understand and manage your emotions

• Build healthier boundaries in relationships

• Increase self-compassion and self-awareness

Sometimes, therapy is simply a space to pause and check in with yourself in a world that constantly asks you to keep going.

When You’re Struggling, Therapy Can Help

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained, therapy may be especially helpful. Working with a trained therapist can support you in:

• Learning emotional regulation skills

• Coping with stress and life changes

• Reducing feelings of anxiety or depression

• Processing difficult experiences from your past

• Managing negative or intrusive thoughts

• Navigating grief, loss, or uncertainty

You don’t have to have the “right words” or a clear goal before starting. Often, therapy is where clarity begins.

You Don’t Have to Do It Alone

One of the most common misconceptions about therapy is that you should be able to handle things on your own. But humans are wired for connection, and healing often happens in relationship with others.

Therapy offers a supportive, confidential space where you don’t have to minimize your feelings, stay strong, or have everything figured out. You get to show up exactly as you are.

So, Who Is Therapy For?

If any of this resonates with you, if you’re struggling, curious, overwhelmed, or simply wanting more support, therapy might be worth exploring.

You deserve care, understanding, and support at every stage of life. And sometimes, taking that first step into therapy is an act of self-kindness.

If you’ve been wondering whether therapy is “for you,” this is your sign: it can be.
