If you don’t feel like participating in your favorite activities, a therapist can help you figure out why, says Marisa Alter, PsyD, a clinical psychologist in private practice in New York City. “This may be a sign of someone who is stuck in a rut,” says Dr. Alter, “or it could be a sign of a deeper depression.” Therapy can help you assess the situation, figure out what is holding you back, and create a plan to move forward.
