What Are You Carrying Right Now?
People seek support for many reasons. Some concerns are new, while others have been present for years.
• Worry or panic
• Low mood
• Relationship stress
• Family conflict
• Trauma memories
• Work or school pressure
• Grief
• Intrusive thoughts
• Mood instability
• Medication questions
Make Your First Appointment Easier
You do not need to have everything figured out before asking for help. A few notes can make the first conversation easier.
• What prompted you to reach out
• How long it has been happening
• What you have already tried
• What support has helped before
• What you want to feel or do differently
• Any urgent safety concerns
Therapy, Psychiatry, or Both?
Therapy can help with emotional processing, coping skills, communication, and goals. Psychiatry and medication management may help when symptoms require medication evaluation or ongoing monitoring. Henderson Mental Health offers information on therapy and medication management for clients exploring these options.
A provider can help determine what level and type of support may fit your situation.
Virtual Care Can Reduce Barriers
Virtual care may be helpful for people balancing work, caregiving, transportation, privacy needs, or distance from an office.
• Choose a private space
• Check internet access
• Use headphones if helpful
• Keep emergency contact information available
• Treat virtual sessions with the same privacy as in-person care
When It Cannot Wait
If you or someone else may be in danger, do not wait for a routine appointment. Call emergency services or contact crisis support.
U.S. residents can call or text 988 or use 988 Lifeline chat for confidential crisis support.
