You don't have to be "Crazy" to get Therapy.

Getting therapy does not mean that you are "crazy" as society wants us to believe.

I respect the fact that it takes a level of bravery to step outside one's comfort zone to seek help in times of trouble.   Therapy can be empowering and exercises our emotional potential. 
To be completely honest, it's an honor  to work with those who are attempting to seek help in bettering their lives.

When should someone seek therapy? 
A few idicators:

When you feel confused and want an objective perspective combined with empathy.
When you feel no one understands you, and/or you feel that you don't understand yourself.
When you feel "not yourself" for a noticeable length of time.
When someone has tried everything known to them to improve their life, and it doesn't seem to be working. 
When Loss has occurred.  
When unhealthy patterns in someone's life don't seem to go away.
When it becomes difficult to balance actions, decisions, thoughts or emotions. 
When you need emotional support and not judgement. 
When negative feelings persist.
When life seems to become unbearable.
When you use unhealthy things to cope.
When it appears Anger is a common response for you.
When it appears that Sadness is a common response for you.
When something traumatic has happened.
When you want to learn techniques on how to improve yourself and your life.
