Why Mental Health Support Is So Important

10 Signs You Might Benefit from Therapy

Wondering if therapy might be right for you? Here are some common signs that it may be time to reach out:

1. You’re stuck in negative thinking.

If you find yourself trapped in spirals of doubt, guilt, or self-criticism, therapy can help you reframe your thinking and regain confidence.

2. Your emotions feel out of control.

Sudden mood swings, anger, or emotional numbness may signal underlying stress, anxiety, or depression.

3. You’ve noticed changes in sleep or appetite.

Oversleeping, insomnia, loss of appetite, or overeating often show up when your mental health is off balance.

4. You’re withdrawing from others.

Avoiding friends, family, or social settings can be a red flag for emotional distress.

5. You’ve experienced a loss or trauma.

Whether it’s the death of a loved one, a breakup, or past trauma, therapy offers a safe space to process what you’ve been through.

6. You’re using substances to cope.

Turning to alcohol, drugs, or even work to numb your feelings may be a sign that it’s time to seek support.

7. Daily life feels overwhelming.

If even small tasks or decisions feel exhausting, therapy can help lighten that mental load.

8. Relationships are suffering.

Whether it’s conflict with your partner, children, or colleagues, emotional strain often shows up in our interactions with others.

9. You don’t recognize yourself.

If you feel disconnected from who you are or what brings you joy, that’s something worth exploring with a professional.

10. You’re having thoughts of self-harm or suicide.

Please seek emergency help right away. You don’t have to carry those feelings alone — support is available and effective.

You Don’t Have to Be in Crisis to Get Help

One of the biggest myths about therapy is that you need to be at a breaking point to go.

Not true.

Therapy is just as valuable when things are “okay” but not great. Maybe you're functioning on the outside but feel exhausted, uninspired, or disconnected inside. Therapy can help you unpack those feelings, understand their roots, and find healthier ways forward.

Early support leads to faster healing — and better outcomes.

Common Barriers to Therapy (And How to Get Past Them)

If you’ve been considering therapy but keep putting it off, you’re not alone. Here are some common concerns we hear at Livonia Therapist and Mental Health Solutions — along with ways to overcome them.

“Therapy is too expensive.”

Good news: many therapists offer sliding scale fees, and some accept insurance. When you reach out to us, we’ll take your budget into account and connect you with professionals whose services align with your financial situation.

“I’m too busy.”

Virtual therapy is more accessible than ever, and many providers offer evening and weekend sessions. We’ll help you find someone who fits your schedule.

“I’m nervous about opening up.”

It’s normal to feel hesitant. But therapy is a judgement-free space where you can go at your own pace — and we’ll help you connect with providers known for their warmth and empathy.

“I tried therapy before and it didn’t help.”

Finding the right match is key. That’s where we shine — our referral process is designed to match you with a therapist who fits your unique personality and goals.
