FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect during my first therapy session?

In the first session, the therapist will likely ask about your background, current struggles, and what brought you to therapy. This helps them understand your needs and start building a treatment plan. You’ll also have time to ask questions about their approach and how they work. It’s normal to feel a little nervous, but the goal is to make you feel comfortable and heard.

Is it normal to feel worse after starting therapy?

Yes, it can be normal to feel worse before feeling better. Therapy sometimes brings up unresolved emotions, past trauma, or difficult memories, and it can feel overwhelming at first. However, this is often a necessary step in the healing process. Your therapist will guide you through these emotions and help you develop coping strategies.

Can therapy help with anxiety or depression?

Yes, therapy is one of the most effective treatments for anxiety and depression. Throughout their participation in therapy, people identify and challenge negative thought patterns, while other therapeutic approaches may focus on emotional processing or mindfulness. Therapy can provide you with tools to manage symptoms and improve your mental health over time.

Will my therapist tell me what to do?

Not exactly. While your therapist may offer insights, tools, or perspectives, therapy isn’t about advice-giving. It’s about helping you develop the clarity and confidence to make your own choices from a place of awareness, not pressure or urgency.

How long will it take to feel better?

The length of therapy depends on your unique goals and the issues you’re working on. Some people feel better after a few sessions, while others may need longer-term therapy to address deep-rooted concerns. Progress in therapy isn’t always linear, but over time, you’ll likely start to notice changes in your thoughts, behaviors, and overall sense of well-being.
