Washington DC Psychotherapy: When Should I talk to a Psychotherapist? 

Psychotherapy can be a welcome island of refuge for people experiencing heightened stress or emotional pain. It is not uncommon, however, to be ambivalent about making the decision to talk to a psychotherapist. It is ultimately a personal decision to make the call, but you may wish to consider therapy if you or someone close to you is experiencing:

• Self-esteem issues
• Depression or mood swings
• Stress or anxiety
• Problems with drugs or alcohol
• Loneliness
• Excessive anger, frustration, or guilt
• Constant worries or obsessions
• Relationship concerns
• Communication problems
• Stress in the face of chronic or life threatening illness
• Concerns about academic performance
• Job concerns
• Life event concerns: marriage, divorce, parenthood, step-family issues, empty nest, retirement, aging
• Issues of sexuality or sexual identity
• Problems following traumatic events
• Struggling with the after-effects of childhood abuse
• Domestic violence or other forms of abuse
