Scranton, PA

Dr. John G. Kuna and Associates

Did you know over 44 million Americans suffer from mental illness—and that’s just the adults! Thankfully, mental health has less of a stigma today with younger generations. American University students conducted a survey, finding Millennials to be more open about mental health problems than their parents and grandparents. At the same time, many people still refuse to see licensed psychologists and counselors, even if it might benefit them. It begs the question, why don’t more people seek professional help?

Why Don't More People Seek Help from You a Licensed Psychologist or Therapist?

On Psychology Today, Dr. Loren Soeiro wrote an extensive piece titled "10 Reasons Why People Refuse to Talk to Therapists." You might not be surprised at the answers. Simply put, not everyone sees value in therapy. A few of the big reasons involve time and money. Some wonder why they should pay a licensed psychologist over talking with friends and family. Others have financial barriers. Last but not least, there are individuals who had bad experiences with therapy in the past.

Whatever the reason, there are many people who might benefit from the outside perspective and experienced insight of a licensed psychologist.

Perhaps that’s why you’re here now.
