Often times, people come to therapy struggling with a particular issue, be it anxiety, depression or relational problems. Starting treatment can bring a wonderful dose of optimism, helping clients feel that they’ve finally found the answer they were looking for. After a forever of suffering alone, they have someone to listen to them, take them seriously and allow them to truly heal. In a best-case scenario, the relevant problems are clarified, goals are set, and a plan of action is developed to work toward those goals. Despite the wide array of psychotherapeutic treatments available for various issues, the overall path is more or less the same.
