How do I know if I really need to see a therapist? If you are feeling that your life is not what you want it to be, psychotherapy can usually help. 

According to the American Psychological Association (apa.org, 2020), here are some signs that you could benefit from therapy:

• You feel an overwhelming, prolonged sense of helplessness and sadness

• Your problems don’t seem to get better despite your efforts and help from family and friends

• You find it difficult to concentrate on work assignments or to carry out other everyday activities

• You worry excessively, expect the worst, or are constantly on edge

• Your actions, such as drinking too much alcohol, using drugs, or being aggressive, are harming you or others

What can I expect from a session?

Our sessions will be held in a safe, relaxed, non-judgmental atmosphere so that you can share what is bothering you openly. Your first session will be spent gathering information about you, your current life situation, and working to develop an understanding of your issues and goals to develop a preliminary treatment plan for moving forward.

How many sessions will I need?

The duration of psychotherapy depends on many factors, including the nature and severity of your issues, how long you have been experiencing them, your goals, and your current life situation. Some clients feel better after just one or two sessions; others need weeks or months to work through difficult feelings and longstanding issues. Some continue psychotherapy even after their current problems are resolved in order to build personal growth and gain new insights.
