FAQ

Not at all! We believe that everyone can benefit from engaging in therapy. You do not have to only seek support when you are in crisis or feeling strain. Much of the work that we do with folks is also preventative to ensure that individuals have the appropriate tools to address the things that life can throw at them.

Every person and situation is different. Therapy can be helpful either long-term or short-term. Since healing is a very personal journey, each one will be different and require crafting different levels of support. As a result, your length of treatment may look different than someone else’s. This can depend on but is not limited to your symptoms, treatment goals, you and your therapist’s availability as well and your level of engagement with the therapeutic process. Your treatment plan is collaboratively developed between you and your therapist. It is tailored to your needs and at any time should you have any questions about how things are going, we encourage you to discuss them during your sessions. 

The duration of therapy depends on a few different themes including but not limited to the nature of the concerns being explored and addressed, individual progress as well as personal goals. Some clients benefit from short-term therapy while others will engage in longer-term treatment. Your therapist will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your needs.

We do not prescribe medication. Only a psychiatrist or mental health nurse practitioner can prescribe medication. If during your sessions, a need for medication management is explored then your therapist will support you by connecting you with a prescribing provider.

Yes! Confidentiality is a major key to any therapeutic relationship and is a fundamental value of our practice. All information shared during therapy sessions is kept confidential, in accordance with legal and ethical guidelines. There are certain exceptions to confidentiality, such as situations involving imminent harm to yourself or others, which your therapist will go over with you during your first session.

Not even a little bit. People who ask for help know when it is time to take that step. Plus they have the ability to reach out and figure out what comes next. Everyone can benefit from help every now and then. Most times, you have strengths and skills that you have used before but there are some situations in life where for one reason or another, they aren’t working as you would like. It is not uncommon for that to cause feelings of overwhelm, but working with a therapist will support you to address and overcome those feelings.
