Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Not at all. People who ask for help know when they need it and have the courage to reach out. Everyone needs help now and then. In our work together, we help you identify your strengths and use them to reduce the influence of the problems you're facing.

Question 2

What's the difference between talking to you and talking to a friend or family member?

Accepted Answer

A mental health professional has the training and experience to help you in ways friends and family cannot. We help you approach your situation in a new way - teach new skills, offer different perspectives, listen without judgment, and help you listen to yourself. Counseling is also completely confidential.

Question 3

Why shouldn't I just take medication?

Accepted Answer

Medication can be effective, but alone it cannot solve every issue. Sometimes medication works best alongside counseling. Our work together is designed to explore and unpack the problems you're experiencing and expand the strengths that help you accomplish your personal goals.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Because each person has different issues and goals, sessions vary by individual. We tailor our therapeutic approach to your specific needs.

Question 5

How long will therapy take?

Accepted Answer

Length varies from person to person. Some find a few sessions are enough; others benefit from longer-term support. We'll discuss your goals in the first few sessions and develop a plan together. You'll always have the freedom to review your progress and decide how long to continue.

Question 6

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

We're so glad you're dedicated to getting the most out of your sessions. Your active participation and openness between sessions are crucial to lasting change.
