5 Signs You Might Benefit from Therapy (And Why It’s Okay to Ask for Help)

Jun 1

As a therapist who supports high-functioning women in leadership and business, I often hear, “I don’t think I need therapy, but something just feels…off.” Sound familiar?

The truth is, therapy isn’t just for moments of crisis. It’s a proactive investment in your well-being—and it can be especially valuable when you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. If you’ve been wondering whether therapy is right for you, I want to reassure you that it’s okay to seek help even if things seem manageable on the surface.

If you’ve been wondering about the signs you might need therapy, here are five that often come up in my work:

You’re Constantly Overwhelmed, Even When Things Are “Fine” You’re checking the boxes, but underneath, you’re emotionally drained. The stress lingers even on your “days off.” Therapy can help you slow down, unpack that overwhelm, and find a rhythm that actually sustains you.

You Struggle to Set Boundaries Without Guilt You say yes too often. You feel responsible for everyone else. If boundary-setting feels uncomfortable or impossible, therapy can offer the tools—and the emotional space—to practice saying no without shame.

Prefer to start small? Tools like the Self-Care Journal or Affirmation Pillow can help you build reflection and rest into your day—no pressure, just gentle support.

You Feel Disconnected from Yourself Maybe you’re successful on paper but feel numb, anxious, or unsure of what you even want. Therapy helps you reconnect with your emotions, values, and purpose—especially if you’ve been in “go mode” for too long.

You're Using Coping Mechanisms That Aren’t Working Anymore In therapy, we explore healthier ways to cope without judgment and work to replace unhelpful self-soothing behaviors. Learn more about adult self-soothing habits and how they show up in everyday life.

You’ve Thought, “Maybe I Should Talk to Someone”
That inner nudge? That’s worth listening to. You don’t need a formal diagnosis to benefit from therapy. Just the desire to feel better is enough.

💡 Still unsure about asking for help? Download my “Why Is Help Difficult?” Workbook—a self-paced, guided reflection designed to help you explore the deeper reasons behind your resistance to support. Whether it’s self-reliance, guilt, or fear of judgment, this $12 workbook can help you gently unpack it all—and begin to move forward with clarity. It's a gentle starting point if you're feeling stuck between "I'm fine" and "I might need support." [Grab the workbook here →]
