Nearly 50% of American households have had someone seek mental health treatment this year, but many still perceive cost and lack of insurance coverage as barriers to seeking help."
Unexplored: 5 Reasons For Mental Health Therapy Despite Problems of Cost or Stigma
Mental health therapy, and the relationship between you and your therapist, is unlike any other relationship in your life. They do all they can to help you without ever sharing your information. You release your worries or concerns while a trained therapist listens and responds with compassion, without judgment, and in a confidential manner.
Additionally, the therapist does not share their challenges with you.
The time you spend in your session is a time dedicated to only you.
Thus, the therapist has a genuine concern for you and your well-being.
Many outpatient clinics and private practices accept insurance and have sliding scale (affordable) rates. Did you know that the average cost of therapy is a little more than the cost of a fill-up at the gas tank? Here are a few reasons why people seek mental health therapy.
1. During a major life transition such as marriage/divorce/breakup, a financial crisis, employment challenges, multiple life stressors, serious health issues or accidents, midlife crisis, or aging-related issues.
2. When dealing with emotional distress and experiencing grief/loss, depression, anxiety, or anger management.

3. To receive support and get help mastering coping skills, stress relief tactics, or ways to manage better their behavior, emotions, or response to the situation. Many people want and need to feel supported and heard. They also seek help to learn new coping skills.
4. Challenging blended family issues or parenting concerns.
Family-related issues may present challenges for parents, step-parents, and children alike. The therapist will create a plan to address your concerns to reach your family’s goals for success.
In some cases, family therapy and/or individual therapy is recommended to explore behavioral patterns, emotional concerns, or relationship conflicts presented within the family unit. There may be opportunities to practice newfound conflict resolution and practical communication skills within the therapy session.
