Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need therapy?
Therapy can help if you want to understand yourself better, work through something specific, or build coping skills. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit. Common reasons include anxiety, low mood, relationship issues, life transitions, and trauma.
How long does therapy take?
It depends on your goals. Some people see meaningful change in 8 to 12 sessions; others benefit from longer-term work. We review progress together as we go.
What happens in a session?
Sessions are conversations where you can talk openly about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Your therapist listens, asks questions, and helps you see things from new angles.
Will the therapist tell me what to do?
No. The work is helping you get clearer on your situation and your options. The decisions are yours.
Do you offer online therapy?
Yes. We offer both in-person and video sessions. Some clients prefer one or the other; some mix.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes. Your therapist won't share information without your consent, except in rare situations involving safety. We cover this in detail in your first session.
