Who Benefits from Mental health services 

 

 

Most people come to therapy because there is some part of their life that is less than satisfying. The vast majority of our clients are business and professional people who are generally doing well in most parts of their lives. When a particular area of life is less rewarding or is problematic, they seek assistance rediscovering their path to mental health.

 

 

People have various motives for seeking mental health services. There are those who are seeking “more” in life – more satisfaction, more happiness, more success, more love, more peace.

 

 

Others seek mental health services to reduce both the intensity and duration of discomfort and the potential for emotional distress which can follow significant life changes such as marriage or divorce, separation, the death of a loved one health or money problems, moves, career changes, academic challenges…

 

 

Individuals and couples sometimes face specific, or more abstract, problems or dilemmas. Most frequently these situations involve interactions with others, interactions within a couple, repeating patterns, and/or particularly difficult decisions. Many find mental health services helpful to resolve these concerns 

  There are many different definitions of mental health. One way to describe this complex concept is successful functioning, resulting in productive activities, fulfilling relationships with others, and the ability to adapt to change and to cope with adversity.
