Therapy is intended to help you cope with daily life stressors. Therapy is not intended to be a “lifeline”. We work towards helping you become more independent and “in control” of your emotions, by offering encouragement, support and coping skills. Therapy will only be effective if you work collaboratively with your therapist in reaching your goal(s). Remember that therapy is not going to change your or change your bad habits, YOU will change YOU. You already have the skills you need to change, therapy helps you see that within yourself. Therapy helps you help yourself.
