FAQs

Why talk to a mental health professional?

A mental health professional can help you approach your situation in a new way– teach you new skills, gain different perspectives, listen to you without judgment or expectations, and help you listen to yourself. Furthermore, therapy is completely confidential. You won’t have to worry about others “knowing my business.” Lastly, if your situation provokes a great deal of negative emotion, if you’ve been confiding in a friend or family member, there is the risk that once you are feeling better you could start avoiding that person so you aren’t reminded of this difficult time in your life.

Is medication alone a good option?

Medication alone cannot solve all issues. Medication treats the symptoms. Our work together is designed to explore the root of the issues, explore your thoughts & behaviors and teach strategies that can help you accomplish your goals.

Medication in conjunction with therapy is considered best practice.

How does it work? What do I do in sessions?

Because each person has different goals for therapy, strategies will be different depending on the individual. We use evidence based practices to tailor our therapeutic approach to your specific needs

I want to get the most out of therapy. What can I do to help?

Therapy is collaborative. Your active participation is important to your success. It’s the work you do outside of our weekly sessions that will help you see positive changes in your personal growth and development.
