Getting Started

What is therapy?

Beginning therapy is a courageous step toward being your healthiest and most authentic self!

Also known as psychotherapy or counseling, therapy is the process of meeting with a licensed therapist in order to go on a journey of self-discovery wherein you will discuss, explore, and heal feelings, relationships, behaviors, beliefs, moods, and somatic (sensations in the body) symptoms.

The growth, insights, and changes will allow you to exchange reactive behaviors, negative thoughts, and harmful patterns in relationship for skills and tool that help you to navigate life’s challenges with increased grace and ease. Newfound resiliency and strength will help you to live YOUR best possible life!

What can I expect?

Therapy will be tailored to you and your experiences and therefore no one can tell you exactly what your therapeutic process will be like, but here are some things that you can expect. 

• Your therapist will be someone who support you, listen attentively, model a healthy relationship experience, give you feedback, and follow ethical guidelines.
• Your sessions will be non-shaming, empowering, centering, focused, empathetic, courageous, often deep, and at times imperfect. 
• Your therapist will challenge and encourage you to think and behave differently. 
• You will play a part in the process, so have some intentions/goals when coming to therapy. You’ll need to put effort in between appointments completing assignments such as journaling, reading, meditating, and/or reflecting. 

Therapy takes time to receive the full benefits. We’ll start with one 55-minute sessions each week, for four consecutive weeks, adjusting depending on your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is what I share in counseling confidential?

Confidentiality is of the utmost importance between a client and counselor. In order for growth to be made, a high level of trust needs to be present, thus everything that is shared within the session is kept confidential.  Confidentiality, and its limits, will be discussed in more detail in your first session and is explained in detail within the therapist’s Information and  Agreement for Psychotherapy.
