Do I Need Therapy?

Thinking of trying therapy? You might have noticed the surprising amount of types of therapy available. The reason for this is some approaches work best for specific conditions, while others can help with a range of issues. After a small assessment, you’ll be paired to work with one of our trained mental health professionals. What is done in each session depends on the methods of your therapist and the issues you’re looking for help with. After you spend some time discussing how challenging situations, emotions, and behaviors affect your life. This will involve working through some negative events or distressing thoughts and feelings. It may seem hard in the moment, but the end result is usually a happier, more fulfilled individual.

These are some reasons to seek out therapy:

• You’re having trouble processing something in your life.

• You seem to have a shorter fuse than usual, and it’s affecting your mood, relationships, or other areas of your life.

• You don’t feel like you’re functioning at 100%…or anywhere close to it.

• You could use an unbiased, confidential person to talk to.

• You feel stuck.

• You seem to be repeating patterns in your life.

• You feel overwhelmed.

• You’re struggling with expectations—like the pressure to be constantly productive.

• You’re anticipating—or currently going through—a major life transition.

• You experienced a trauma.

• You’d like help working through difficult family or relationship dynamics.

• You have a physical health condition.

• You are living in a pandemic.

Patient testimonials

Coming to see you was the best decision I ever made" are words that I said to Alessana at some point during my therapy. Alessana helped me build confidence in myself both personally and professionally. Through my therapy, I gained insight and understanding of who I am and my value, and not just to individuals in my life, but to myself. I now value who I am and most importantly, respect myself. Subsequently, I am down to a 5mg dose (compared to 25mg dose when I started therapy) of blood pressure medication and have continued to lose and maintain my weight. I attribute these improvements to therapy. I've learned to control my stress, think things out without anger or anxiety and that keeps my emotional state on an even keel. Additionally, it has helped me from hitting the fridge when I am stressed or at the very least make better, healthier choices. Now, one year after completing therapy, I still feel it was the best decision I ever made.

I started working with Alessana because I was desperate for change and had reached a low point in my life. Her compassion and empathetic support were crucial to my healing many old wounds and the variety of techniques she employs in therapy helped me to find an inner fortitude I never knew I had. I have learned from her how to set healthy boundaries in my relationships and am now finding it easy to speak what is on my mind effectively. Moreover, I now know I have a lot to say, and a right to be heard. My relationships are more authentic and I am having a lot more fun these days--which is a lot to be said, given the current state of world affairs. I'm grateful to Alessana for her professional talents, her enduring patience, kindness and guidance, not to mention her sense of humor. I never knew therapy could be fun. I will continue to recommend her as a counselor/therapist/coach."

Alessana Fordin has been indescribably helpful to me in my life. I recommended Alessana and the Lotus Counseling Center to one of my best and closest friends. Ms. Fordin is very intelligent, highly trained, patient, knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. She helped me resolve major issues that had been bothering me and recurring for years. I am so blessed to have her in my life. I now love myself and feel much better."

I started working with Alessana to treat depression and anxiety. Years ago, I would never have thought that I would be in the place that I'm in today. My work with her has greatly improved all aspects of my life. I have a better relationship with myself and others. Alessana is truly the best at what she does. She is very compassionate, intelligent, understanding, and kind. She has guided me to overcome and understand a lot of challenges that I've had. Going to Lotus has been one of the most fulfilling choices that I've made for myself. I am forever thankful for the work that we've done together!!
