About Therapy / Sessions

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Therapy can be beneficial for anyone experiencing emotional distress, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. If you're unsure, an initial consultation can help determine if therapy is a good fit for you.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Therapy is useful for managing stress, anxiety, or life challenges. It offers support and helps with personal growth. A consultation can help you decide if it’s the right option.

How long does each therapy session last?

Standard therapy sessions last 50 minutes. Extended sessions (80 minutes) may be available based on your needs.

How often should I attend therapy?

The frequency of sessions depends on your unique situation. Many clients start with weekly sessions and later adjust to biweekly or monthly sessions as progress is made.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes, therapy is confidential. However, there are legal exceptions, such as concerns of self-harm, harm to others, or abuse reporting obligations. Your therapist will discuss confidentiality with you in detail.

Can I do therapy online?

Can I switch therapists if I feel the current one isn’t the right fit?

Absolutely. Finding the right therapist is important. If you feel your current clinician isn’t the best match, you’re encouraged to discuss it or request a referral to another therapist.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?

You must provide at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Late cancellations will be charged the full session fee.

How long does therapy take?

The length of therapy varies by individual. Some clients see progress in a few months, while others continue for long-term support depending on their goals and concerns.
