It's Hard to Ask for Help. But, it's a Strong Place to Start.
"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." — Aristotle
Starting therapy can feel like a big step—and it often is. If you’ve never been before, it’s completely normal to feel nervous, unsure, or overwhelmed. Many people share that one of the hardest parts was simply accepting they needed support. That moment of honesty with yourself takes courage—and it’s a meaningful place to begin.
Therapy can be uncomfortable at times. It brings up emotions and thoughts that are easy to push aside in day-to-day life. But there is growth in that discomfort if you nurture it the right way. Over time, the fear and uncertainty start to fade, making space for clarity, resilience, and deeper self-understanding.
As Aristotle said, “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” This reflects the heart of the therapeutic process—building self-awareness and insight. And while the journey isn’t always easy, the growth that follows is often far greater than the fear that first held you back.
