Climbing Mount Everest in 2011, I came across this sign—I think I was in need of every service.

Counseling doesn’t provide oxygen, helicopters, horses or satellites—but if you're seeking therapy for anxiety, depression, or eating disorder recovery, it does offer something essential: support when the climb feels relentless, guidance when thoughts are loud and confusing, and help finding steadier ground, one step at a time. Recovery isn’t a solo ascent.
