FAQs
You do not have to be in crisis to start therapy. Many people come in feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply tired of carrying everything alone. If something in your life feels heavy or unclear, therapy can be a place to sort through it.
How do I know if therapy is actually what I need right now
1
What if I do not know what to talk about or where to start
2
That is completely okay. You are not expected to arrive with a plan or the right words. Therapy often begins with what feels hardest right now, even if that is just saying “I do not know.”
How long does therapy usually take before I feel a difference
3
There is no set timeline. Some people notice small shifts early, while bigger changes often happen gradually. Therapy is not about quick fixes. It is about building understanding, skills, and patterns that last.
What happens if I get emotional or do not know how to explain what I am feeling
4
Emotions are welcome here. You do not have to explain things perfectly or make sense of them on your own. Part of the work is slowing things down and finding language together.
Is what I share really confidential and are there any limits to that
5
Your privacy is taken seriously. What you share in therapy remains confidential, with a few legal exceptions related to safety. These limits are reviewed clearly, so there are no surprises.
What if I have tried therapy before and it did not help
6
That experience matters. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and timing, approach, and connection can make a difference. A past experience that did not work does not mean therapy cannot help now.
Can therapy be proactive, even if nothing is “wrong”
7
Yes. Many people use therapy to strengthen relationships, improve emotional awareness, prevent burnout, or navigate life transitions. Therapy can be a space for growth, not just repair.
Is there anything I can do on my own outside of therapy
8
Absolutely. Therapy often includes tools you can practice between sessions, such as reflection, skill building, and small behavior changes. At the same time, therapy is not about doing everything perfectly on your own. Support and self-work are meant to complement each other, not compete.
