For some people, there continues to be a stigma attached to psychotherapy. Some may believe that if a person goes to psychotherapy, there must be "something wrong" with them, or that they might be "crazy."

On the contrary, psychotherapy can instead by seen as a tool for achieving growth and reaching goals, and improving quality of life. While it may be a specific problem that brings someone to treatment, focus in therapy can be on solutions...identifying what your goals are and working effectively toward them.

7 Reasons Why People May go to Psychotherapy:

  • To identify what you want and go for it!
  • To achieve a healthier lifestyle (ex: behavioral changes like increasing exercise, decreasing alcohol intake, or learning relaxation to lower blood pressure)
  • To improve interpersonal relationships
  • To function optimally during difficult life transitions
  • To achieve personal and professional goals
  • To improve self-esteem and develop more confidence
  • To recognize behavior or relationship patterns that may be obstacles to one’s goals, and change those patterns
