About the Therapy Process

What is psychotherapy and how does it work?

Psychotherapy is a form of talk therapy. It addresses your psychological and emotional issues so you can improve your mental health and well-being.

Therapy offers a collaborative relationship and a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. 

Through various therapeutic techniques, psychotherapy can help you gain insight, develop coping strategies and make positive changes in your life.

How do I know if I need psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy might be a good fit for you if you’re:

  • Feeling emotional distress 
  • Struggling with intimacy and communication in your relationships
  • Facing life transitions
  • Dealing with unresolved trauma
  • Experiencing persistent symptoms of mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression
  • Seeking coping skills, insights and personal growth

If your daily functioning, well-being and relationships are being negatively impacted, don’t wait to begin therapy.

Will my therapist prescribe medication if needed?

We do not prescribe medication, but work closely with doctors and psychiatrists who do. They can evaluate your individual needs and prescribe medication if needed.

How often do I need psychotherapy and how long does it last?

The frequency and duration of therapy depends on your individual goals, progress and availability.  While we recommend weekly sessions in the beginning, you’ll work with your therapist to establish a treatment plan that fits your needs.  Our sessions typically last 45 minutes; however, longer sessions can be arranged if needed. 

It can be beneficial to continue therapy even if you start feeling better. Ongoing therapy can help you solidify your progress, prevent relapse and boost your well-being.

How long does it take to see progress in therapy?

Improvement from therapy is non-linear and different for everyone. 

Some individuals may notice improvements within a few weeks or months. Others, who have more complex issues, will achieve progress across several months or years. What matters most is our own individual progress rather than our pace.

Your therapist will provide guidance along the way and help you set realistic expectations in your own healing journey.

Is it normal to feel nervous or vulnerable when starting therapy?

Yes, it’s completely natural to feel nervous and vulnerable during your early therapy sessions. 

We recognize this, and have worked to create a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your real emotions and concerns.  As you build a relationship with your therapist, you’ll feel more ease and comfort.
