Frequently Asked Questions Beginning therapy often comes with questions.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
You don't need to be in crisis or have everything figured out before starting therapy. Therapy can be a place to better understand yourself, work through something difficult, or make changes in patterns that no longer work for you.
What if I don't know exactly what's wrong?
That's okay. Many people begin therapy knowing that something doesn't feel right without being able to explain exactly why. Therapy can help you understand what may be contributing to how you're feeling and what you would like to change.
What happens during the first session?
The first session gives us time to talk about what brings you to therapy, what has been happening in your life, and what you would like help with. It's also an opportunity to see whether working together feels like a good fit.
Do I need to talk about my childhood?
Not necessarily. We can explore earlier experiences when they are relevant, but therapy can also focus on what is happening in your life and relationships now.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. What you share in therapy is confidential, with specific exceptions required by law. These limits are explained as part of the informed consent process.
