When to see a psychologist

You might notice some difficult themes in your life that you want to change. You might even be struggling with depression. Despite all your attempts, you still feel stuck in the same old rut. You want something different; you want to be different.

It can feel like you're trying to move a giant boulder up a steep hill with only a teaspoon - but that's okay because at least you're moving! Right?

Sometimes we get so focused on making any kind of progress that we fail to notice how small our steps actually are. We're not moving anywhere close to the desired direction because we're focusing too much on that teaspoon.

You might be thinking, "Okay, I'll stop focusing so much and start taking bigger steps." But then you realize that there's no way you can take a big step when your leg is only an inch off the ground! You want change; you want different legs. You want something new.
