You Don’t Need to Wait Until Rock Bottom

Many people think therapy is only for when life feels unbearable. But the truth is, therapy can help at any stage—whether you’re dealing with a crisis or just feeling “off” and wanting extra support. If you’ve been wondering whether it’s time to reach out, here are five signs to look for.

1. You’re Feeling Overwhelmed

If daily stress feels like too much to handle, or small challenges suddenly feel huge, therapy can help you find tools to manage and regain balance.

2. You’re Stuck in the Same Patterns

Do you find yourself repeating the same cycles—whether it’s with relationships, work, or self-criticism? Therapy can help you understand why and find new ways forward.

3. Your Relationships Are Strained

If conflict, distance, or disconnection are showing up in your closest relationships, it might be time to explore what’s underneath with the support of a therapist.

4. Anxiety or Low Mood Keeps Hanging Around

Occasional stress and sadness are normal—but if anxiety or low mood lingers, therapy offers space to process and find strategies for relief.

5. You’ve Been Through a Major Life Change

Transitions—like becoming a parent, moving, changing jobs, or experiencing loss—can stir up big emotions. Therapy gives you support during these shifts so you don’t feel alone.
