FAQs

I’ve never talked to anyone. I’m used to handling things on my own. Aren’t people who go to therapy weak?

Not at all! Reaching out for support actually takes courage. Everyone needs help sometimes, and therapy is a safe place to explore what’s going on. Together, we’ll help you uncover your strengths and figure out how to use them to handle life’s challenges more effectively.

What’s the difference between talking to a therapist and talking to a friend or family member?

Friends and family can be great listeners, but a therapist brings professional training and experience to the table. We can help you see your situation from new angles, teach skills to manage challenges, and listen without judgment or expectations. Plus, everything you share with us is completely confidential—no worries about “who knows what.” Therapy also helps prevent potential strain in relationships, so you can process tough emotions safely.

Why shouldn’t I just take medication?

Medication can help, but it usually works best alongside therapy. In sessions, we can explore what’s happening beneath the surface, identify patterns, and help you build practical tools that support your goals and long-term well-being.

How does therapy work? What do I have to do in sessions?

Every person’s journey is different. We’ll tailor our approach to your needs and goals, guiding you through challenges, helping you understand yourself better, and teaching skills you can use in your everyday life.

How long will it take?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The timeline depends on your goals, the challenges you’re facing, and how committed you are to your growth. Some people notice changes quickly, while others take a bit longer—but every step forward is progress.

I want to get the most out of therapy. What can I do to help?

Your active participation makes all the difference. Be honest, engage in the process, and try out what you learn between sessions. The more you invest, the more you’ll get out of it—and we’ll be with you every step of the way.
