Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Anyone can benefit from therapy as long as they have an interest in improving their mental health, and want to gain insight into themselves and their lives. Mental health counseling offers a supportive space for learning and healing.

What can I expect during the first therapy session?

Your initial session is a chance for us to get to know each other better. Prior to your first therapy session, you will have completed a biopsychosocial evaluation in which your therapist gathers background information. This process typically takes 1-3 sessions. During this time, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and any questions or concerns you may have. It's also an opportunity for you to see if you feel comfortable working with a therapist.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of our services. Your privacy is our priority, and we adhere strictly to professional American Psychological Association (APA) rules and ethical guidelines. Exceptions to confidentiality are rare and will be discussed with you at the outset of services. As such, what you discuss in session is private and confidential and can only be disclosed to a third party with your permission.

At what age can children start counseling? 

The answer to this question depends on your child's unique needs and your goals for therapy. Children as young as four years old can benefit from therapy. Your therapist can help ensure that your child receives age-appropriate care.

How long does therapy take?

This will depend on you and how consistently you attend therapy. 90% of change happens outside the therapy session, so it will depend a lot on what you do after each session (e.g., homework activities). Missed sessions will result in slower overall progress. Additionally, length will also depend on your therapeutic goals. You can expect to see results after a few weeks of consistent therapy if you follow through with your therapist's recommendations.
