Question 3

My teen does not want therapy. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

If your teen does not want therapy, start by having an open, calm conversation to understand their concerns and validate how they feel. Gently explain the benefits and offer choices in the type of therapist or session format. Let them engage at their own pace.

Question 4

How do I know if therapy will work for me?

Accepted Answer

Therapy is most effective when you’re open to the process, willing to be honest, and committed to making small, consistent changes over time. You’ll know it’s working when you begin to feel more understood, gain new insight, and notice even gradual improvements in how you think, cope, and respond to challenges.

Question 5

Who can benefit from therapy?

Accepted Answer

Anyone facing emotional challenges, life transitions, relationship stress, mental health symptoms, or simply wanting to grow can benefit from treatment. It provides a non-judgmental space to better understand yourself, improve coping skills, and build a healthier, more balanced life.

Question 6

What does the therapeutic process look like?

Accepted Answer

Therapy begins with an initial assessment to understand your goals, followed by personalized sessions that include talk therapy, skill-building, and practical strategies. Progress is monitored regularly, allowing the therapist and client to adjust the approach as healing and growth occur.

Question 7

How often should I come to therapy sessions?

Accepted Answer

Most clients attend therapy weekly or bi-weekly, depending on their needs, goals, and the level of support required. Your therapist will help determine the frequency that best supports your healing and growth.

Question 8

How long are the sessions?

Accepted Answer

Most therapy sessions last 45 to 50 minutes, allowing enough time for meaningful therapeutic work while maintaining a structured, focused approach.

Question 9

Do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

Currently, insurance is not accepted. This decision is based on the requirement that insurance companies impose for a formal mental health diagnosis to approve treatment. Many concerns clients seek support for, such as life transitions, stress, grief, or trauma, do not always fit neatly into diagnostic categories.

Question 10

Why this matters?

Accepted Answer

The goal is to support you as a whole person, not as a diagnosis or set of symptoms. Avoiding unnecessary labels helps protect your privacy and prevents a permanent mental health diagnosis from being added to your medical record unless it is clinically appropriate and truly needed.
