Frequently Asked Questions

In your first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. We'll discuss your goals, any concerns you have, and start building a treatment plan tailored to your needs. It’s a safe space to share whatever you’re comfortable with, and there’s no pressure to dive too deep right away.

Each therapy session typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes. This gives us enough time to explore your thoughts and feelings while ensuring you leave with a clear plan for the week ahead.

The frequency of therapy sessions depends on your individual needs and goals. Many clients start with weekly sessions and may adjust to bi-weekly or monthly as they progress. We’ll work together to find a schedule that supports your growth and healing.

Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy. Everything you share in your sessions is private and protected by law, with a few exceptions related to safety concerns (such as risk of harm to yourself or others). We’ll discuss these exceptions in our first session to ensure you’re fully informed.

Therapy can be beneficial for anyone looking to improve their mental health, work through challenges, or grow personally. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply want to better understand yourself, therapy can provide the tools and support you need to make positive changes.
