Have you ever caught yourself thinking:
“I think I need counseling, but how do I get started?”
“Something needs to change, but I feel like I don’t have any options.”
“I keep facing the same problem over and over. Nothing I do seems to make a difference.”
“I’m at a loss for what to do next.”

If we’re honest, most of us have felt this way at some point—so consumed by our struggles that we can’t see a way forward, unsure of where to even begin. If you’re searching for therapy or wondering if counseling is right for you, you’re not alone.

How to Start Counseling

Taking the first step toward finding a therapist can feel overwhelming, but the fact that you’re here means you’re already moving in the right direction. Whether you searched for “counseling near me” or reached out to someone for help, you’ve started your journey toward healing and personal growth. And that is something worth celebrating!

In Counseling Acknowledging Small Wins Matters

I always encourage people to celebrate their victories, no matter how small, because each step forward is proof of progress. Seeking help for mental health is a courageous act, and recognizing that moment can be a powerful motivator to keep going.

So take a deep breath and acknowledge this: you are looking for support, and that is a victory.
