Introduction
There’s a common misconception that counseling is only for people who are “broken” or in crisis. But the truth is, therapy and counseling aren’t just about fixing what’s wrong—they’re also about discovering what’s possible. You don’t have to hit rock bottom to seek support. In fact, many people benefit from counseling when life is going relatively well.
