Getting Started

Therapy can be an invaluable tool for those navigating complex emotions, cultural expectations, or personal challenges that have built up over time. It offers a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, making sense of experiences that may feel overwhelming or confusing. Whether you're grappling with identity, the pressures of balancing multiple cultures, or struggling with the weight of past trauma, therapy can help you untangle these layers and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. Through therapy, you can gain powerful insights into your behaviors and thought patterns, helping you break free from cycles of stress, anxiety, or doubt.

It also provides a space to rebuild self-worth and foster resilience, especially when past experiences or societal pressures have left you feeling disconnected or uncertain. Therapy empowers you with practical tools to cope with daily stresses, improve communication skills, and heal from the pain of broken relationships or lost faith. The work you do in therapy not only helps you process past hurts but also gives you the strength to create a more fulfilling future, grounded in self-compassion, confidence, and a deeper connection to who you truly are. Ultimately, therapy is a partnership that supports your growth, giving you the guidance and clarity needed to move forward with purpose and strength.

Therapy is a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, with each session personalized to meet your unique needs—whether you’re seeking help as an individual, couple, or family. In your first session, you'll have the chance to connect with your therapist, share what brought you to therapy, and together, set goals that will guide your journey.

Sessions are typically 50 minutes long and can be scheduled weekly or biweekly, based on what feels right for you. As you make progress and experience growth, the frequency of sessions may naturally decrease. You may also be invited to try out some gentle activities between sessions, like journaling or mindfulness, to help you deepen the work you’re doing. Remember, therapy is a partnership, and being actively engaged both in and outside of sessions will make your experience even more rewarding. We’re here to support you every step of the way!

Yes, therapy is confidential. What you share with your therapist is private, and they are dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment for you. However, there are a few exceptions:

• If there is a risk of harm to yourself or others.
• If there is suspect child/elder/dependent abuse.
• If there is a court order requiring the release of information.

If you’re new to therapy, it’s completely normal to have questions about confidentiality. Don’t hesitate to ask your therapist for more information to help you feel comfortable and supported.

A 15-minute consultation call with a therapist is a relaxed, no-pressure opportunity for you to explore how therapy might be helpful. It’s a chance to share what you're hoping to discuss in future sessions, ask any questions about the therapist’s approach, and see if you feel comfortable moving forward. This call is completely complimentary and gives you a chance to get to know your therapist, with no commitment required. We’re here to make sure you feel supported and confident as you take this step towards caring for your mental health—just like you would for any other aspect of well-being.
