Frequently Asked Questions
Starting therapy is a meaningful step, and it is common to have questions before beginning.
Below are answers to some common questions.
I also encourage you to ask any questions during phone consultation and at any point during therapy .
I'm struggling, but I'm not sure if what I'm experiencing is "just normal." Should I reach out?
Many people experience a range of emotions during difficult life events or transitions. While some adjustment is expected, you do not have to wait until things feel unbearable to seek support.
Therapy can help you better understand what you are experiencing. develop tools to cope, and feel more grounded and connected to your life. If you are unsure whether therapy is the right next step for you, a consultation call can be a helpful place to start.
What can I expect in a therapy session?
Therapy sessions are usually 50 minutes long. The first session is 75 minutes, as this session is an opportunity for you to ask questions you may have and to share information about your current challenges, your history, and your goals for treatment.
Can family members or partners be involved in therapy?
Therapy is tailored to your individual needs. At times, involving a partner or other family member may be helpful and can be discussed together as part of your treatment plan.
