FAQs
I’ve never talked to anyone. I’m used to handling things on my own. Aren’t people who go to therapy weak?
Absolutely not! Seeking help is a courageous act of self-awareness, and those who reach out are often the ones most in tune with their needs. We all journey through times when support is essential. Together, we’ll embark on a path of exploration, uncovering your unique strengths and guiding you to harness them, allowing you to navigate and transform the challenges you’re facing.
What’s the difference between talking to you or my best friend or family?
The distinction lies between those who can offer support and those who have the specialized training and experience to do so in a transformative way. A mental health professional can guide you to view your situation from fresh angles, teach you new skills, and provide a compassionate ear free from judgment or expectations, allowing you to truly listen to yourself. Rest assured, our counseling space is entirely confidential, so you can express yourself without fear of others knowing your journey. Additionally, if you’re navigating intense emotions and have been leaning on friends or family for support, it’s possible to unintentionally create distance as you heal. A professional space offers the support you need while honoring your relationships.
Why shouldn’t I just take medication?
While medication can be a valuable tool, it often works best in harmony with counseling. Our collaborative journey will focus on exploring and unpacking the challenges you face, while also illuminating and nurturing your strengths. Together, we’ll create a holistic approach that empowers you to manifest your personal goals and foster deeper well-being.
How does it work? What do I have to do in sessions?
Each individual is unique, shaped by their own challenges and aspirations. That’s why I personalize my therapeutic approach to resonate with your specific needs, ensuring a path that aligns with your individual goals and experiences.
How long will it take?
It’s important to acknowledge that every individual’s path is beautifully distinct, making it challenging to provide a one-size-fits-all answer on a general FAQs page. The duration of counseling and your path to achieving your goals are influenced by your personal commitment to growth, your aspirations, and the specific factors that inspire you to seek support. Embracing your individual process is key to unlocking transformation.
