You don’t need to be falling apart to go to therapy. Sometimes the most powerful reason to start is simply wanting to feel better. In this blog, Sarah Biren from Perez Therapy explores five signs it might be time to talk to someone — and reminds us that seeking support isn’t a sign of weakness, but a step toward healing and self-understanding.

Being authentic means living in alignment with your true values instead of conforming to external expectations. While fear of judgment can make authenticity difficult, embracing your genuine self fosters self-worth, stronger connections, and a more fulfilling life. Therapy can provide a safe, supportive space to explore what authenticity looks like for you and how to practice it every day.
