FAQ

Therapy is the process of working with a licensed mental health professional to better cope with stressors and make desired changes. Therapy for adults typically involves talking through thoughts and emotions to identify issues holding you back and learning new ways of thinking and behaviors.

Anyone can benefit from counseling. We can all benefit from gaining a better understanding of ourselves and a clearer picture of where we are going in life. So, in that regard, if you feel you could use some support in making changes or dealing with life circumstances, therapy can help.

Also, if you find yourself experiencing anxiety that interferes with your life, or if you feel down, depressed, or unmotivated, therapy may be right for you. 

Your first session will involve discussing some of your history, your current concerns, and your goals for the future. Your therapist will also go over any policies, payment information, and scheduling information.

Following sessions will be devoted to looking at your problems and helping you resolve them. You may discuss thoughts and feelings, learn new skills, be assigned "homework", etc.

Therapy is meant to give you long lasting results and help you make positive adjustments in your life. It can give you the skills to deal with future stressful situations as well. Benefits of therapy can include feeling less anxious, less depressed, handling stress better, and even decreasing physical symptoms that are caused by stress. 

Therapy can be time limited or open ended. When making a plan with your therapist this will be something that is discussed. There is no definitive answer to this question as the amount of time may be different for everyone.

Some of the considerations when deciding whether to submit your bill to insurance include privacy and flexibility.
