As I think about what prevents people from taking that first step in therapy, I try to put myself in their place. Sometimes it can be stress or anxiety related to “what should I expect?” Here’s a small picture of a waiting area outside one of our therapy offices. Make yourself comfortable while you wait for your family member, spouse or any loved one. Sometimes the therapist will ask for your permission to invite someone into therapy. This choice is yours, but it can sometimes help with the bigger picture. Each person is unique and we are here to make you thrive!
