"PRGRS Therapy provided an excellent space to explore, identify, and optimize my behaviors and beliefs about myself. Working with Gabby allowed me to talk and reflect on life events I hadn't felt safe disclosing before. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to try DBT"

Therapy Saves Time and Money
Did you know that therapy can save you both ⏰ time and 💰 money. According to a Yale study, mental illness costs the economy $282 billion annually (Source). That is a lot of money! Another report written by WHO stated “Globally, an estimated 12 billion working days are lost every year to depression and anxiety at a cost of US$ 1 trillion per year in lost productivity” (Source). Wow! Many folks look at therapy as an expense, but the truth is, that engaging high quality therapy can save you a ton of time and money. At PRGRS Therapy, we are all about helping our clients earn back time and money through high quality therapy. Check out our calculator below to see how much time and money you will save by engaging in therapy.

Let’s be real…
Life is hard! Or maybe it’s not and you just want to make it better! Either way, life moves fast, and keeping up can be challenging. We can all use some help managing emotions, staying organized, building relationships, and handling the daily stressors of life.
The constant pressure to keep up can take a toll. Decision fatigue, relationship pressures, out of wack emotions, can all lead to frustration and self-doubt. The stress of juggling work, relationships, and personal goals can make it feel like you’re falling short. Over time, overwhelm and inaction can set in and erode your confidence.
The good news is things don’t have to be this way. With goal-oriented and skill based strategies you will be well equipped to handle all that life throws your way… no matter what it is.
