FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is therapy right for me?
​
Therapy provides an opportunity to discuss issues that are important to you with a trained, objective person who can help you work through current challenges and enhance your skills for dealing with similar situations in the future. Whether focusing on a specific problem or multiple issues, therapy is a collaborative process requiring active participation from both the client and therapist to effect change. People seek therapy for a variety of reasons including stress management, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. For some, a specific event prompts seeking help, while others value the impartial guidance to address longstanding struggles. Counseling can empower individuals by instilling a sense of control and equipping them with tools to make informed decisions and meaningful life changes, fostering personal growth toward a more fulfilling life.

How can therapy help?
​
Therapy can help you discover your strengths and positive characteristics, as well as uncover any unhealthy patterns that may be keeping you living the life that you desire. The benefits of therapy depend on your commitment and level of readiness. Some benefits can include improving self esteem, healing from past wounds, improving communication skills, learning new coping skills, attaining a better understanding of yourself, changing old patterns, or managing your emotions. Therapists, being objective, can provide a different or a fresh perspective on a problem that you have been struggling with and guidance, support, courage, healing, and hope to help you live your best possible life.
​
How many therapy sessions will I need?
​
​The number of sessions you will need depends on your specific concerns and treatment goals. Each session is tailored to address current needs and build upon previous progress. Therapy aims to equip you with skills and resources that empower you to independently pursue your goals in the future. No matter what may be recommended, you are always the authority over how many session you want or need to attend, as you remain in control of your therapeutic journey. Counseling duration is flexible and may range from short-term interventions to longer-term treatment plans, depending on individual needs and progress.
