Hi silversky.

I am also a 19 yr old female that goes to a community college, and let me say that i love therapy and i've made a lot of progress in the last 7 months.

My opinion is that everyone should be in therapy their whole lives. Even if there is nothing "wrong" with them, i think life is stressful. It is a journey and things are constantly coming up that you need support with. Therapy is the perfect place to deal with things and a healthy way to cope!

That being said, if you feel you might need to be in therapy, you probably do. If there is something you want to change about yourself or something you need help with, or coping with, therapy is a good outlet. I think you should go for it. I agree, it is hard to take the first step and make the call, go to the first apt, etc. but when you finally find someone you like and begin to trust them, let me tell you it feels amazing.

hope this helps
