How do I know if I need therapy?

The first indication that you may benefit from therapy is that you are here and thinking about it. Some signs that seeing a therapist could be beneficial include feeling stressed, fatigue, frequent outbursts of anger, feeling afraid, experiencing anxious or intrusive thoughts, a loss of interest in usual activities, hopelessness, and isolation. Ultimately, there is no right or wrong reason to get therapy. We are here to support you.

How do I know which therapist will be right for me?
Every therapist has a different style of conducting therapy and it's important that you work with someone who you feel is a good fit for you. The best way to figure this out is by speaking with them over the phone, or better yet, meeting with them in person. If you come prepared with questions, you'll be able to gather information to help make this decision easier. We offer a free 15 minute consultation through phone, video, or in-person.

How long will I need to be in therapy?

Duration of therapy really depends on the severity of symptoms and the person's responsiveness to treatment. However, on average clients experience improvement within 3 months. It's important to remember that just because you feel better doesn't necessarily mean it's time to end therapy. It can be helpful to slowly decrease the frequency of sessions in order to maintain that support until you truly feel confident enough to use the skills you've learned.
