Do I need therapy?

Everyone goes through difficult challenges in life. While you may have been able to cope with the challenges you’ve encountered, it’s always a good idea to seek extra support when you need it. Therapy will give you long - term benefits and the tools you need to overcome whatever difficulties you encounter.

 

How can therapy help me?

Therapy is extremely valuable in managing personal growth, relationships, and the many challenges faced in daily life.

​

What happens during therapy?

Therapy may be different depending on the goals for therapy and the needs of the person. We will discuss the things that are currently happening in your life, things that happened in the past that are relevant to your issue, and review the gains we’ve had from the previous session. Ultimately, we want to help you bring what you’ve discovered or learned during therapy back into your daily life.

 

Medication vs. Therapy

Medication cannot solve your mental and emotional problems alone. Therapy is needed in order to address the source of your distress and behavior patterns. Check with your medical doctor for the best treatment for you.

 

Will our conversations remain confidential?

Confidentiality is a key component of therapy. What you discuss in a session will not be shared with anyone else. By law, your therapist can’t release this information without your written consent, except in the following situations:

 

• The therapist suspects there is past or present abuse or neglect of children, adults or elders.

• The therapist suspects the client is in danger of harming themselves or has threated to harm another person.
