Many people think that therapy is only beneficial for people with significant mental health conditions or those who struggle with the effects of how their parents raised them, but therapy can help anyone. If you’re struggling to have a positive mindset or set boundaries, or you want to talk to someone who has experience empowering women or working with minorities, an effective therapist can help you look at your whole person and use your ability to work through life’s challenges.
