Frequently Asked Questions

I'm worried about the stigma associated with going to therapy. What will people think?
It’s completely understandable to feel concerned about how others might perceive therapy. Remember, prioritizing your mental health is a sign of strength and self-care. More people than ever are recognizing the value of therapy, and seeking help shows courage and a commitment to your well-being.
I feel scared to open up to a stranger about my personal issues. How can I trust a therapist?
Feeling scared to share your personal story is natural. A good therapist will create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can open up at your own pace. Building trust takes time, and your therapist will be there to support you every step of the way.
What if therapy doesn't work for me?
It’s normal to have doubts about the effectiveness of therapy. Everyone’s journey is unique, and sometimes it takes a bit of time to see progress. Many people find great benefits from therapy, and being open to the process can lead to meaningful change and growth.
I don't think my problems are serious enough for therapy. Is it still okay to go?
Therapy isn’t just for crises or severe issues. It’s a helpful resource for anyone wanting to improve their mental health, gain insights, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. No problem is too small to address if it’s affecting your happiness and well-being.
I'm afraid therapy will be too painful. How can I handle facing my issues?
It’s normal to fear that therapy might bring up painful emotions, but facing these feelings is often the first step toward healing. Therapists are trained to help you process emotions in a supportive and manageable way, helping you find relief and strength through the process.
