If you've never seen a psychotherapist before, you may be wondering what psychotherapy can do to help you. There are many reasons that you might choose to see a psychotherapist and here are some of them:

• You feel an overwhelming sense of sadness and helplessness, or you lack hope in your life.
• Your emotional difficulties are making it hard for you to function from day to day. For example, you are unable to concentrate on assignments and your job performance suffers as a result.
• Your actions are hurtful to yourself or to others. For instance, you lose your temper easily even with your friends, or you do things that you know aren't good for you, such as shopping too much, or eating compulsively.
• You are troubled by emotional difficulties facing family members or close friends.
• You are dissatisfied with your sexual relationships or you are experiencing sexual dysfunction.
• You feel anxious much of the time, worry constantly about the future, or avoid social activities because going out makes you so nervous.
• You feel out of control with certain behaviors or circumstances in your life: drinking, sex, debt.
• You wonder about chronic, unexplained physical complaints such as headaches, stomachaches, or fatigue.
• Your moods change so frequently that you feel like you never know how you'll feel the next day, or the next week.
• You keep making the same mistakes in your life -- for example, dating the wrong people, or getting fired from jobs -- or you just feel stuck and can't make any changes in your life.

You may also wonder if you have a specific problem you've learned about -- such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or depression -- and you'd like to find out if that's the case.

If you're in treatment now, you might come to see us for other reasons:

• You just want a second opinion about your diagnosis, or about your treatment.
• You've been in psychotherapy for months, and you don't think you're making any progress, or you don't feel it's the right person or type of therapy for you.
• You're getting medicines from your internist, but you want to see someone who specializes in psychotherapy.
• Your medications aren't working for you, or they have too many side effects.
• You're on medications and want to try psychotherapy.

We provide caring, professional help for most mental health issues.
