FAQs

“I’ve never talked to anyone before. I’m used to handling things on my own. Why should I go to therapy?”

It takes strength to recognize when you need support — and even more courage to reach out for it. Everyone faces challenges that can feel too heavy to carry alone. Therapy isn’t about weakness; it’s about growth. Together, we’ll explore your strengths, gain clarity around the struggles you’re facing, and build tools to help you move forward with confidence and peace of mind.

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

Friends and family can offer love and support, but a therapist provides something deeper — professional training, a fresh perspective, and a completely confidential space that’s free of judgment or expectations. In therapy, you’ll learn new ways of understanding your thoughts and emotions, develop skills to navigate challenges, and have a safe space to heal and reflect without worrying about burdening those close to you.

“Why shouldn’t I just take medication?”

Medication can be an important part of healing for some people, but it often works best when paired with therapy. Therapy helps you understand the root of what you’re feeling, uncover your strengths, and learn practical ways to cope and grow. Together, we’ll look at the whole picture — your emotions, habits, and experiences — to help you create lasting change, not just temporary relief.

“How long will therapy take?”

Every journey is unique. The length of therapy depends on your goals, commitment, and the challenges you’re working through. Some people find what they need in a few months, while others choose to continue longer for deeper growth and healing. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, ensuring that each session supports your progress and well-being.

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

We love that you’re committed to making the most of your experience. The most powerful progress happens when you show up with openness and curiosity. Therapy is a partnership — your active participation, honesty, and willingness to explore new perspectives will help you create meaningful change. We’ll walk beside you every step of the way.
