Is therapy right for me?
The best way to determine if therapy will be beneficial for you, and if we are the right people to help, is to schedule a session with us so we can determine goals and fit. The typical psychotherapy client is just looking for help to solve a problem, or for a new perspective, or just support! Some have questions about parenting, about a possible separation, or about their past. Most people who participate in psychotherapy improve!
What is the process?
During our intake, we will review paperwork and necessary forms. We will obtain historical information and will ask about your goals for therapy. We will determine together whether you feel comfortable enough to return. The process of change occurs over time. Your collaboration, participation and motivation will help determine progress. Psychotherapy sessions belong to you.
Do I really need therapy?
Only you can answer this question! Most people benefit from most forms of psychotherapy and we believe strongly in the power of therapy. We may also provide information about what you can do at home, including practicing new patterns, establishing firmer boundaries, or utilizing strategies that lead to a healthier lifestyle and mindset. A strong therapist-client relationship may lead to powerful and positive changes.
How can it help?
The goals of psychotherapy will depend upon what you bring to sessions and your individual goals for change. Often, psychotherapy can help reduce problematic symptoms, improve relationships and coping skills, and encourage insight, leading to progress. Happiness and and confidence are not usually the goal, but they are often the outcome.
