How do I know if I need therapy

Do any of the following resonate with you?

  • Attachment issues

  • Identity exploration

  • Sex addiction

  • Anxiety

  • Self-doubt

  • Loneliness

Perhaps you’re navigating new challenges like open relationships, the process of transitioning or building better boundaries. Maybe you want to grasp a better understanding on your sexual or gender identity? As you see, there are many reasons.

We will help identify the issue, find a therapist you feel comfortable with, and present a game plan for the next steps. Also please remember that showing your vulnerability and seeking support is a sign or maturity, strength & growth.

Why should I start now?

If I had to sum up therapy in three words then it would be: Making Positive Changes.

Imagine this: You looking at your future self - Radiating with confidence, giving you a nod to start now.

Listen, how good would it feel if you not only knew where your problems came from but also had a designed blueprint for a better and brighter you. You may feel like you’re ready to jump right into this. Or you may be on the other side of the spectrum where you’re feeling apprehensive. “I don’t know if now is the right time”… “I got too much other shit going on”…”Money, insurance, will my job cover it?”

All very rational questions. You have a life. We understand. Its not an easy decision and actually quite the vulnerable undertaking, so it will almost never feel like the perfect time. Trust your gut and take the first step, however small.

WHY US

Why people choose Rouse?

It all starts with creator & founder of Rouse Therapy, David Khalili.

  • 20 years of experience in the sexual wellness field

  • 15 in mental health

But what makes him stand out are his cultural upbringings and the network of professionals he has curated along the way. David didn’t read a blog about sex & identity struggles, he lived them. Constantly questioning societal norms towards sexual identity and gender and then going home to have all this clash with with religious roots. He’s had feelings of self-doubt and loneliness but also pushed himself to keep going which resulted in getting some real life experience answers.
