How do I know if therapy is right for me?
Deciding to pursue therapy is a significant step towards prioritizing your mental health and well-being. If you’re experiencing distress, facing challenges, or seeking personal growth, therapy can provide valuable support and guidance. It’s normal to have doubts or questions about whether therapy is the right choice for you.

We believe in empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their mental health care and will support you in finding the path that feels most authentic and beneficial for you.
What if I'm not comfortable discussing certain topics in therapy?
It’s natural to feel apprehensive about discussing sensitive or challenging topics in therapy. We prioritize creating a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment where you can explore difficult thoughts and emotions at your own pace. We respect your boundaries and will never pressure you to disclose information that you’re not ready to share. Therapy is a collaborative process, and you have the autonomy to guide the direction and pace of your sessions. If there are specific topics or concerns that you’re uncomfortable discussing, we encourage open communication with your therapist so that together, we can find alternative approaches and strategies that feel more comfortable for you.
What can I expect during my first therapy session?
Your first therapy session, often referred to as an intake session, is an opportunity for you to share your concerns, goals, and any relevant background information with your therapist. They’ll ask questions to better understand your current situation and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Additionally, you’ll have the chance to ask questions, discuss confidentiality, and explore what therapy will look like moving forward. Our aim is to create a safe and welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and supported from the very beginning.
How long will therapy take to start seeing results?
Therapy is a highly individualized process, and the timeline for seeing results varies from person to person. Factors such as the nature of your concerns, your level of commitment, and the frequency of sessions all play a role. While some individuals may experience improvements relatively quickly, others may require more time to notice significant changes. Rest assured, our goal is to support you in achieving lasting positive outcomes, and we’ll work together to establish realistic expectations and milestones along the way.
