FAQs
I’ve never talked to anyone about my feelings. Isn’t going to therapy a sign of weakness?
Not at all. Reaching out for help takes courage. Therapy is about recognizing when you need support and learning to use your strengths to manage challenges more effectively.
How is talking to a therapist different from talking to friends or family?
A therapist brings training, experience, and objectivity. We provide a safe, confidential space to explore your feelings, gain new perspectives, and learn practical skills—without judgment or personal expectations. Unlike friends or family, we focus solely on your growth and emotional well-being.
Why not just take medication?
Medication can help with symptoms, but it doesn’t address underlying challenges or teach coping strategies. Therapy helps you understand your patterns, build resilience, and use your strengths to achieve lasting change.
What happens in a session?
Every session is tailored to your needs and goals. We’ll explore your challenges, identify patterns, and develop strategies to help you thrive.
How long will therapy take?
It varies by individual. Progress depends on your goals, commitment, and the issues you want to address. Some people see change quickly, while others take longer to achieve lasting growth.
How can I get the most out of therapy?
Active participation is key. Engaging fully, being honest, and practicing what you learn outside of sessions will help you achieve the best results.
What is telehealth therapy and how does it work?
Telehealth therapy is conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. After scheduling, you will receive a private link for your session. You can attend from a quiet, confidential location using a computer or smartphone.
Many clients appreciate the convenience and flexibility of online counseling, especially professionals and college students balancing demanding schedules.
Is online therapy effective?
Yes. Research consistently shows that telehealth therapy is effective for treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and adjustment disorders. Many clients report feeling more comfortable opening up in their own space.
How do I know if I need therapy?
You may benefit from therapy if you:
Feel overwhelmed more days than not
Experience persistent anxiety or low mood
Struggle with burnout
Feel stuck in repeating patterns
Are navigating a major life transition
Want personal growth and deeper self-understanding
Therapy is not only for crisis — it is also for prevention, growth, and self-development.
How long will therapy last?
The duration of therapy depends on your goals. Some clients engage in short-term therapy focused on specific skills, while others prefer longer-term work exploring deeper patterns and healing.
We will regularly evaluate progress together.
