Therapy FAQ

Ask me your questions

What is therapy, and how can it help me?

Therapy, also known as counseling or psychotherapy, is a process where a trained professional helps you explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to promote mental well-being. It can help with managing stress, overcoming trauma, improving relationships, and fostering personal growth.

How do I know if I need therapy?

If you're experiencing persistent stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply feel overwhelmed, therapy might be beneficial. It's also helpful for self-exploration and personal development, even without a specific problem.

What should I expect during my first session?

In your initial session, the therapist will ask questions to understand your concerns, background, and goals. This is a chance to discuss what you hope to achieve and how therapy can support you. Sessions typically last about 50 minutes.

How long will I need therapy?

The duration of therapy varies depending on your needs and goals. Some individuals benefit from short-term therapy (6-12 sessions), while others prefer ongoing support. Your therapist will discuss a treatment plan that suits your situation.

What types of therapy are available?

There are many approaches, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Focuses on changing negative thought patterns.
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Helps manage intense emotions.
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Strengthens emotional bonds in relationships.
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Enhances psychological flexibility.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Incorporates mindfulness practices for stress reduction.

Can therapy help with anxiety and depression?

Absolutely. CBT and other evidence-based therapies are highly effective in managing anxiety and depression by helping you understand and modify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors.

How do I choose the right therapist?

Consider factors like the therapist’s credentials, area of expertise, therapeutic approach, and whether you feel comfortable with them. An initial consultation can help determine if it’s a good fit.

Can therapy be done online?

Yes, online therapy is available and offers the same level of care as in-person sessions. It’s conducted via secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms and can be a convenient option for those with mobility issues or busy schedules.

How do I get the most out of therapy?

Be open and honest during sessions, set clear goals with your therapist, and practice the skills learned between sessions. Regular attendance and active participation are key to progress.

Is therapy only for people with mental illness?

No, therapy is for anyone looking to improve their mental well-being, cope with life changes, enhance relationships, or gain personal insights. It's not limited to those experiencing mental illness.

What if I don’t feel a connection with my therapist?

It’s important to feel comfortable and supported. If you don’t feel a connection, it’s okay to discuss your concerns or consider seeing another therapist who better matches your needs.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes, therapy is confidential. Therapists are bound by ethical standards to protect your privacy. However, there are exceptions, such as if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others.
