What people ask us first

No. Many people come to therapy without a diagnosis, simply because something feels hard or stuck.
If you're curious about it, that's often a sign it could help. A short call with us is a no-pressure way to find out.
That's fine. Part of the early work is figuring that out together. You don't need to arrive with a clear goal.
We'll contact you within [1–2 business days], answer any questions, and match you with a therapist and a time that works.
Most new clients are seen within 1-2 weeks. If you need something sooner, let us know and we'll do our best.
Your therapist will get to know you, ask about what brings you in, and talk through what you'd like from therapy. You can ask questions too.
Just complete the intake forms we send you. If it helps, jot down a few thoughts beforehand, but it isn't necessary.
Most clients start weekly. Over time, some move to every other week. You and your therapist decide together.
It varies. Some people come for a few months for a specific issue; others stay longer for deeper work. We'll review it with you as you go.
Yes, always. We'd suggest a final session to reflect on your progress, but the choice is yours.
You may notice small shifts first: feeling lighter, coping a little better, understanding yourself more. We'll check in on your goals regularly.
The questions people are afraid to ask
What if I have no idea what to say?
That's completely normal, and it's your therapist's job to help. Many people start with “I don't know where to begin.” We'll ask gentle questions and find the thread together.
What if my problems don't seem “bad enough” for therapy?
There's no threshold you need to reach. If something is weighing on you, it's worth talking about. Therapy can help before things become a crisis, not only after.
What if I feel worse before I feel better?
It can happen. Opening up difficult things sometimes stirs them up first. Your therapist will go at a pace that feels manageable and check in with you along the way.
What if I disagree with my therapist?
Please say so. A good therapist welcomes it. Disagreement is useful information and often leads to some of the most helpful conversations.
What if therapy doesn't work for me?
We review progress with you regularly. If something isn't helping, we'll change the approach, suggest a different therapist, or help you find support that suits you better.
What if I don't want to talk about something yet?
Then you don't have to. You decide what you share and when. Trust takes time, and your therapist will respect your pace.
What if I don't click with my therapist?
Fit matters a lot. Tell us and we'll help you switch to another therapist on our team, with no awkwardness and no need to explain yourself.
