How Do I Know If I Need Therapy?

We Need To Talk with Dr. Darcy Sterling

It’s one of the most common questions people have about mental health: 

How do I know if I need therapy?

How do you know if your problems are “normal” or if it’s time to call in a pro?

In this episode, we answer questions like:

  • What’s the difference between a sad day and a red flag for therapy?
  • How do I know if I’m leaning too much on my friends? 
  • Is medication without therapy a real thing? And if so, is it effective?
  • Can a physical illness mean that you need therapy? 
  • What types of therapy work the best?

AND… I share with you the most IMPORTANT questions any therapist should be able to answer for you at the start of therapy.
