I've never been to therapy before. How do I know if I need it?

Therapy can be beneficial for anyone interested in personal growth, as well as those facing life challenges, emotional distress, or mental health issues. If you're feeling overwhelmed, experiencing persistent sadness, anxiety, or if your emotional state is affecting your daily life, relationships, or work, therapy can provide support and strategies to cope and improve your well-being.

What should I expect during my first session?

Your first session, often referred to as an intake session, will involve discussing your current concerns, therapy goals, and background information. It's a chance for you and your therapist to get to know each other and establish a plan for your therapy journey. It's normal to feel nervous, but our therapists strive to create a welcoming and safe environment.

How long does each therapy session last?

Each therapy session typically lasts between 45 to 60 minutes. The length and frequency of sessions can be adjusted based on your therapeutic needs and goals, which you will discuss with your therapist.

What are your fees for therapy sessions?

How is confidentiality handled?

How can I support someone hesitant to seek therapy due to stigma?

Encourage open dialogue about mental health in a non-judgmental way. Share resources or personal experiences positively highlighting therapy's impact. Offer to help them research therapists or accompany them to an appointment if they're open to it. Remind them that seeking help is a sign of taking control of their well-being.
