Just interesting to know how old are people in therapy. If your age is not a secret

41. It is a great age to be. I started looking forward to turning 40 in my early 30s.
Thanks for this!

I am 34 and have been in therapy since I was 30 (with the T I see now).

I was in therapy for a year when I was 14, then I went back when I was 25 for another year.
Then went back when I was 30. This is the last time!

44, started up again 6 years ago with my current pdoc after a hiatus. I began with my current T a year later. I had previously been in therapy with a psychiatrist from age 11-21 and a couple of others for a few years, gradually phasing out after I got married at 27.

I'm 40, and just started therapy in May. Going twice a week. Prior to May, I had not gone to a therapist since my teens. I should have been.
