FAQs

I’ve never talked to anyone. I’m used to handling things on my own. What can I expect in therapy?

People ask for help when they have run out of their own resources to cope with their struggles. Life is full of hurts, habits, and hang ups and everyone needs help now and then. In our work together, I’ll help you explore and identify your strengths as well as discovering unresolved emotional wounds or limiting beliefs that inhibit your self expression and cause you pain.

Why shouldn’t I just take medication?

Medications can be helpful to reduce symptoms but they do not heal the causes of mental health issues. Psychiatric  medications work best in conjunction with counseling by bringing stability to the system so we can do the deeper emotional work. Our work together is designed to explore and unpack the problems you are experiencing and expand on your strengths in order to move into a more integrated and self empowered state of being.

How long will it take?

Each person's circumstances are unique to them and the length of time counseling can take to allow you to accomplish your goals depends on your desire for personal development, your commitment, and the factors that are driving you to seek counseling in the first place.

I want to get the most out of therapy. What can I do to help?

I am so glad you are dedicated to getting the most out of your sessions. Your active participation and dedication will be crucial to your success.
