Getting help with emotional struggles or symptoms doesn't mean you're weak or crazy, but not getting help when you need it just doesn't make sense.
There are a lot of reasons why people don't seek help from a mental health professional. They may be nervous about being "shrunk," or they may assume it will take too much time or money. They may think that talking won't help, or that they're just being self indulgent. They may have a hard time admitting that they're not coping as well as they'd like. Or, they may feel worried about the stigma of mental illness.
Dr. Marlow takes all those concerns seriously and welcomes the opportunity to discuss them with you. She believes that emotional health is not just important for feeling well. It is crucial for maintaining good physical health, fostering the ability to work productively, finding the desire and energy to have fun, and nurturing good, healthy family patterns. Emotional health and self care is vital to an exceptional quality of life — something we all deserve.
Starting psychotherapy may not be as difficult as you think.
