When should I start seeing a counselor?
Have you ever wondered or asked yourself, “when is the right time to start seeking professional help?” Well, you are not alone.
This is one of the most common questions individuals and couples wrestle with when deciding to reach out. I find that most clients are well aware that something needs to change in their life, yet they aren’t quite sure how to make that change. The reality is, if you are thinking you could benefit from counseling or coaching - that is a good sign to start! In fact, research shows that most couples wait on average 7 years before seeking out a professional! Imagine what could be different if you started now instead of kicking the can down the road.
If you’re still on the fence, I want to share with you some of the most common reasons couples work with me.
Now, of course, there are all sorts of reasons folx seek out a coach or counselor. Sometimes there is one challenge or issue you want to address and sometimes there are many layers to work through. Some wait a long time, sometimes too long, before seeking out a profession while others jump in at the earliest warning sign. In my experience, here are several common reasons to start seeing a profession.
