A commitment to therapy carries many benefits. Often it is helpful just to know that someone understands your situation. Therapy can provide a fresh perspective on a difficult problem or point you in the direction of a solution. Many people find therapy to be a tremendous asset to managing personal growth, interpersonal relationships, family concerns, and the stress of daily life. The benefits you obtain from therapy depend on how well you use the process and put into practice what you learn. Potential benefits include:

• Attaining a better understanding of yourself, your values, and your personal goals.
• Developing skills for improving your relationships.
• Managing anger, anxiety, depression, and other emotional pressures in life.
• Improving your self esteem and self-confidence.
• Finding resolution to the concerns that brought you to therapy.
• Improving communication skills – learning how to listen to others and be heard.
• Breaking unproductive patterns and developing new, healthy behaviors and habits.
