Frequently asked questions.
How do I know if I need therapy?
You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, sad, or just not yourself, therapy can offer support, clarity, and tools to help you move forward.
What happens in a therapy session?
Therapy is a conversation in a safe, nonjudgmental space. We’ll talk about what’s going on in your life, explore your thoughts and feelings, and work together toward your goals.
How long will I need to be in therapy?
Everyone’s journey is different. Some people find relief in a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We’ll work together to find a pace and plan that feels right for you.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. What you share in therapy stays between you and your therapist, with a few legal exceptions (such as safety concerns or mandated reporting of abuse). Your privacy is always a top priority.
Will I be judged?
Not at all. Therapy is a judgment-free space. We’re here to support you, not to criticize or tell you how to live your life.
How do I choose the right therapist?
It’s important to feel comfortable and connected. We encourage you to ask questions during a consultation—about our experience, approach, or anything else—to see if we’re a good fit for your needs.
Do I need a mental health diagnosis to start therapy?
No. Many people come to therapy without a diagnosis. You’re welcome to start with whatever you’re feeling, experiencing, or hoping to work through.
How much does therapy cost, and do you accept insurance?
Fees vary by therapist and session length. We accept certain insurance plans and offer private pay options. Please contact us to learn more about rates, insurance, or sliding scale availability.
What if I don’t know what to talk about?
That’s completely okay. It’s normal to feel unsure at first. Your therapist will help guide the conversation in a way that feels comfortable and productive for you.
Can therapy really help me?
Yes—therapy can be a powerful tool for healing, self-discovery, and growth. Whether you’re working through challenges or looking to understand yourself better, therapy can make a meaningful difference.
Healing is not about erasing the past, but reclaiming your power from it. Therapy is a space to rediscover who you are beneath the layers of stress, hurt, and expectations, to remember your strength, your peace, and your purpose. Growth takes time, and grace grows in the space between pain and healing. You deserve a life that feels whole, grounded, and genuinely good on the inside.
