Frequently asked questions
Making the decision to start therapy is a sign of strength. Its sign that you want to take control over your life, your emotions, and your relationships.
Seeking out therapy is an individual choice. Working with a therapist can help provide support and new strategies for all types of life challenges. Therapy addresses many types of issues, including depression, anxiety, conflict, stress management, body-image issues, and general life transitions.
Every session is unique and caters to each individual and their goals. Clients usually express afterwords a relief of being able to express themselves unconditionally without being judged or blamed and just being heard and given options. There are some things you can expect out of therapy:
- Compassion, respect, and understanding
- Strategies for enhancing positive changes in yourself
