Our mood impacts our enjoyment in life--irritability, anger, sadness can deplete  energy and keep us from the enjoyment we would like to feel.  Moods affect us and our moods affect the people around us.  Relationships can become difficult; even maintaining a work schedule can be difficult at times.  Depression, anxiety, obsessive thinking can limit the quality of life.  As well, cyclical Mood Disorders, such as Bipolar Disorder, can greatly impact life.  

Having a therapist who can help navigate the ups and downs and help with legitimate feedback about your needs can make life easier.  Having a therapist you come to trust  can help you stay on track toward your goals, teach you coping strategies for more difficult times and direct you toward other services, such as a medication consultation when needed.

A trusting relationship with a therapist can be crucial at times of personal crisis.
