For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

Therapy can be uncomfortable and it can be hard work, but, just like a good work out, it is so worth it.

Julianne is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who also has a master of education in counseling (MSEd).

I would say that Therapy while at times may be uncomfortable. It is a healthy way to deal with issues and things that are not being addressed in other ways.

Admitting you need and asking for help can be very difficult, but it does not have to be scary. As a therapist, I perceive myself as your cheerleader while gently challenging you to make emotionally healthy changes. Why not try to live a more happy life?

My favorite quote is “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how I react to it.” This quote is the embodiment of what causes our stress. Often times the things outside of our control (past/present) cause us the most turmoil. Treatment will focus on working together to help you understand how core beliefs and automatic thoughts can determine your actions and world view, in order to improve and maximize your potential for happiness.

It can be overwhelming to begin therapy. It takes a strong person to recognize that they need counseling to help during at difficult time.
