FAQs

I've always handled things on my own. Isn’t therapy for people who can’t?
Not at all. Strength isn’t about doing it alone—it’s about knowing when to reach out. Therapy isn’t about weakness; it’s about learning new ways to navigate life’s challenges. You already have the tools—you just need a space to sharpen them.

What’s the difference between therapy and talking to a friend?
Think of it like this: Friends and family can support you, but a therapist is trained to guide you. Therapy gives you expert strategies, an unbiased perspective, and a judgment-free space where you don’t have to filter your thoughts. No unsolicited advice, no awkward follow-ups—just real support, tailored to you.

Why not just take medication?
Medication can be helpful, but it’s not a standalone fix. Therapy helps you understand patterns, build resilience, and develop long-term tools to manage your mental health. Sometimes, the best approach is a mix of both—customized to what works best for you.

How does therapy actually work?
Therapy isn’t a lecture—it’s a conversation. We start by understanding what’s bringing you here, setting goals, and figuring out the best way forward. You bring your experiences, and we bring the tools. Together, we’ll create a roadmap for growth, healing, and whatever success looks like for you.

How long does therapy take?
There’s no set timeline—this is your journey, and we go at your pace. Some people see progress in a few sessions, while others take longer. Our focus isn’t on rushing; it’s on making real, lasting change.

How do I get the most out of therapy?
Great question! The best way to see results is to show up, be open, and put what we talk about into practice. Think of therapy as a gym for your mind—the more you engage, the stronger you get. We’re in this together.

Do I have to talk about everything right away?
Nope. You’re in control of the pace. Therapy isn’t about pressure—it’s about creating a space where you feel safe to open up when you’re ready.

Will talking about my problems make them worse?
It can feel that way at first, but in reality, bottling things up tends to make them heavier. Therapy helps you process what’s weighing on you so you can move forward with more clarity and confidence.

What if I don’t know what to say?
That’s okay! It’s my job to guide the conversation in a way that feels natural. Some people come in with a list of things to talk about, while others just show up and see where it goes. Either way works.

How do I know if therapy is working?
You’ll start noticing small (and big) shifts—maybe in how you handle stress, your relationships, or the way you see yourself. Growth isn’t always linear, but if you’re feeling more aware, more in control, or just a little lighter, you’re on the right track.

Is therapy worth it?
Absolutely. Investing in your mental health means investing in your future. You deserve the same care and attention that you give to everything else in your life. And trust us—it’s worth it.
