F.A.Q

Everyone can use therapy. Using therapy as a skills-building tool can be helpful for individuals, when you’re in relationships with others or when one is at the starting line of building good life skills.

Therapy can also help with:

• Getting a better understanding of your sense of self, your values, and your goals
• Identifying and managing burnout
• Exploration of issues past and present
• Learning self-care and self-regulation
• Learning coping skills for emotions 
• Learning to be kind to yourself
• Developing and learning communications skills
  
  

One of the many misconceptions about therapy is that it's only for people with big trauma, issues or a diagnosed mental illness.

Sessions traditionally last 45-55 minutes. Both therapist and client have a grace period of 15 minutes at the beginning of session.

You should feel like you can be yourself and honest. Your therapist should create a judgment-free zone where you can freely express what you feel and think. You should enjoy talking with your therapist and have a good back and forth in your conversations. You should also feel like your therapist supports you and cares for your wellbeing.

Give your therapist three tries. Usually, it takes at least three sessions before you start to understand how your therapist can impact your life. It is important to remember that when you meet people, first impressions are important and lasting. It’s the same with therapy — you’re getting to know each other.

Any session that is missed by a no show or canceling less than 24 hours in advance will be charged a $150 fee.
