Therapy is not for people who feel “crazy” or are having a mental health crisis. People seek advice for many reasons. If you're not sure whether or not you should see a therapist, remember: there is no "should." If you want to meet a therapist, you can do so to see if it feels right for you. Keep in mind that there are many online counselors and therapists available and you will have to search to find the right solution for your needs.

Are you unsure whether therapy is suitable for you? Here are some questions to ask yourself:

• Is there a problem you can't seem to get out of your head? Are you unable to do your daily activities, such as going to work, hanging out with friends, or enjoying a movie or TV show, because you can't stop obsessing?

• Is there something you are so ashamed of that you actively try to hide it from the important people in your life? Does this secret cause you shame or feelings of fear?

• Has your mood been noticeably low in recent months? Are you isolating yourself from friends and family because you “don't see the point in being around people?” Do you avoid phone calls, texts, and emails because you don't want to talk to anyone?

• Are you addicted to a substance, behavior or compulsion? Does this addiction impact your life so much that it seems almost impossible to get through the day without taking the action or using the substance?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you would benefit from consulting with a therapist. Remember that therapy can help a variety of people for many different reasons. It wouldn't hurt to talk to a licensed counselor to see if they might be able to help you.
