You do not need a perfect explanation.
Many people begin counseling knowing only that something is not working anymore. The first step is making sense of what is happening and deciding what you want to be different.
- Worry, low mood, stress, grief, or feeling stuck
- The same relationship conflict happening again and again
- Substance use that is beginning to cost too much
- A relapse or difficult stretch in recovery
- Court, probation, or accountability requirements
- A major change at work, at home, or in the family
