In short, the answer is yes! Everyone can benefit from therapy. There are misconceptions and a social stigma that have been passed down in our culture that says, "you go to therapy because there is something wrong with you". This is just absolutely false. You are a product of your environment. Any challenges you're having are just a formulaic product of biology and your past experiences - most of which were not your choice! Think of therapy as consultation. You wouldn't judge yourself for consulting with an accountant, financial planner, or realtor. So why would you judge yourself for consulting on the most important thing of all - your life! We're not here to control you. We're most definitely not here to tell you what to do. Ultimately you are the expert of your life. We just house the methods and information that can help you adjust course and get more out of your situation.

If you need a reduced rate, we can match you with someone who fits your budget! We have counselors at different price points based on their experience levels, ranging from $65-165 per session. Another way to save cash while prioritizing your health is to reduce the frequency of your appointments. Talk to your therapist to see if this is a good fit for your case. At The Mind Parlor we know your emotional and mental wellbeing needs be a top priority - as much as physical and medical health. We hope these options will make it easier for you to prioritize yourself and still get the quality care you deserve.
