Frequently asked questions
1. What should I expect during my first therapy session?
In your first session, we will focus on getting to know each other. I’ll ask questions about your background, concerns, and goals for therapy. It’s a time for you to share what’s on your mind, and for us to start developing a plan tailored to your needs. This session is also a chance for you to ask any questions about the therapy process.
2. How do I know if therapy is right for me?
Therapy can benefit anyone facing challenges, whether it’s related to stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or personal growth. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or simply want a neutral space to talk, therapy could be helpful. It’s a safe, confidential environment to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
3. How long will I need to be in therapy?
