Personal Growth Therapy

People are amazingly complex. So of course we don’t always fit neatly into categories and labels. At Coastal Therapy, we help people move closer to living more fulfilling lives, regardless of their presenting concerns.

Psychotherapy can and does help with specific symptoms and mental health conditions. It can and does help us progress toward personal goals and self-development. And it also helps us grow, learn, and develop deeper capacities to choose, feel, think, work, and love in the ways we value most. We believe that this kind of growth is the most rewarding and life-changing gift the therapy journey has to offer.

Sometimes we come to therapy knowing what we are wanting and needing. Sometimes we don’t. Sometimes we need help clarifying our sense that we need something more. Thinking about your therapy goals as “personal growth” goals can help make sense of why you are wanting to reach out. Personal growth is a common reason for seeking therapy.

Some possible concerns you may have:

Do you feel different than you used to but aren’t sure why?
Have you reached goals and still feel unsatisfied?
Do you know what you really need and still don’t take action to get there?
Do you feel like you’re living a fulfilling life?
What parts of yourself do you want to know and understand better?
Are there parts of your story that are hard to face on your own?
Do you want to know yourself and others in deeper ways?
Are you wrestling with challenges to or changes in your belief system, identity, and relationships?
Do you feel out of alignment with who you are and what you value most?

Examining these questions and possible solutions are all examples of working on personal growth.

We are here to help

When life feels busier than ever, it is easy to confuse success with busyness. In this high-speed way of living, it can be difficult to slow down and assess how we are feeling about our lives and assess the choices we are making. You deserve the space and time to do this and work toward personal growth. Therapists at Coastal Therapy Group can help you in this process. Therapy can act as a catalyst to help you move forward and lead a more fulfilling and contented life.

Personal growth isn’t a destination. It is a continuous and ever changing part of the human experience. It can be helpful to work with a therapist to explore what you value and how to live a more value-congruent life. The therapists at Coastal Therapy Group are honored to help you on your journey of personal growth.
