Adults often don’t consider the various stages one goes through in a lifetime. There are college and career building years, marriages, children, divorces, job changes or loss of jobs, death of loved ones, or chronic medical or mental health issues. Depression and anxiety are the most common mental health challenges faced today, and are often the result of significant life stressors. However, mental health conditions can often be chronic, and may have been present in an adult’s life for many years. Psychotherapy can be helpful in evaluating where problems exist in a person’s life. With the assistance of a trained professional, an individual can learn how to make the life changes that are necessary to achieve better life adjustment and satisfaction. Psychotherapy involves identifying problems in several areas including, life problems, personal conflicts, relationship issues, self-esteem, and emotional and behavioral problems. Exploration and identification of the origins of these problems are essential in order to develop personal insight, as well as the development of life-long coping strategies necessary in dealing with life and situational changes.
