What is Therapy Like?

Getting Started: You’ll likely fill out paperwork about your background, reasons for seeking therapy, and goals. The first session or two may focus on the therapist getting to know you and your situation. Sessions: You’ll usually meet once a week for about an hour, this may vary, you’ll discuss with your therapist the frequency of sessions. Length of Therapy: This varies greatly. Some people go for a few months to address a specific issue, while others may attend for years to work on ongoing personal growth, this will be addressed during intake session.

What to Expect:

It may be uncomfortable at first: It’s normal to feel nervous about opening up to a stranger. This often gets easier with time.
You might cry: It’s a safe space to express emotions.
Therapists maintain confidentiality: They usually won’t share what you discuss with others, except in certain situations like if they think you’re a danger to yourself or others.
Therapy requires work: You may be given exercises or topics to think about between sessions, this will be discussed during intake.
