Frequently ask questions

Is therapy right for me if I’m functioning but feel anxious or overwhelmed?

1

Yes. Many people seek therapy not because something is “wrong,” but because anxiety, stress, or emotional patterns are starting to affect how they feel, communicate, or cope. Therapy can help you better understand what’s happening and build skills to manage it more effectively.

What happens in the first individual therapy session?

2

The first session is a conversation focused on understanding your experiences, what’s been bringing you in, and what you’d like support with. It’s a safe space to share at your own pace, ask questions, and begin shaping a plan together.

How do you approach therapy?

3

Therapy is explored with compassion and understanding, not judgment. Therapy focuses on identifying patterns, learning practical skills, and developing healthier ways to respond to anxious thoughts, emotions, and situations over time.

Do I have to know exactly what I want to work on before starting therapy?

4

No. Many people begin therapy feeling unsure or overwhelmed. Part of the process is exploring what’s been difficult and gaining clarity together. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start.
