What is therapy and how can it help me?
People enter therapy for different reasons. Whether you are faced with an immediate unexpected event or life change, struggling with a relationship, or wanting to reflect and explore personal
growth, therapy is an opportunity to be heard and supported.
Therapy assists you in recognizing your strengths as you collaborate to gain insight and formulate solutions for your unique challenges and life experience. Just as you take care of your physical needs, therapy allows you to address your emotional well-being.
Choosing therapy is an opportunity to gain insights and learn strategies to manage your life with more contentment and satisfaction.
What can I expect in therapy?
You can expect to be listened to attentively in order to give you an opportunity to express your concerns and clarify your feelings. You may know exactly what is causing you concern or distress. Or, you may recognize you are feeling “stuck” but cannot identify the cause of your struggles. Therapy can help you identify your needs and figure out the goals you want to address.
How should I choose a therapist?
Make sure you know a therapist’s credentials and experience. Know if the therapist is licensed. Ask questions.
The therapeutic relationship is extremely important. Having a “good fit” between the client and therapist plays a critical role in laying the groundwork for addressing your unique struggles and needs. It usually takes a few sessions for the client and therapist to make this determination.
