FAQs
What is therapy and how does it work?
Therapy sessions are confidential conversations between a client and therapist during which your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors are processed and understood. You can discuss your past, the present, ongoing struggles and beliefs about anything. By doing so, you gain a better understanding for who you are, why you are that way, and what might be best for you going forward.
Although friends and family can be emotional support systems... they have their own opinions and biases about your life. This can keep us from being completely honest with them about our thoughts and emotions.
With a therapist, their priority during a session is to create a safe space for you to talk without judgement and help you make sense of your thoughts, feelings, and life experiences.
From here you can truly start to make changes to live a life you are happier with.
How often would we meet?
In order to bring about change, it's important to work with your therapist as a team and commit to consistent weekly or biweekly sessions. As you make progress, you and your therapist will discuss the appropriate frequency for sessions, with the eventual goal being to reach a point where you feel ready to end treatment based on your progress.
How long is a therapy session?
Sessions are approximately 45-60 minutes.
Is what I say in therapy confidential?
Yes.
What you say in therapy is confidential, therapists do not disclose the content of your sessions or identity with others without your permission.
However, there are exceptions to this rule - if you reveal that you may put yourself or others in danger, your therapist will disclose this information to other professionals to keep you safe.
