Question 1

How can therapy help?

Accepted Answer

Therapy helps you make sense of what’s happening and why it keeps showing up in your daily life. It gives you practical tools to manage stress, emotions, relationships, and decisions more effectively. Over time, this work can help you feel more steady, clear, and better equipped to handle real-life challenges.

Question 2

How long will I need to participate in therapy before I feel better?

Accepted Answer

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all timeline, but many people begin to notice small shifts within the first few sessions as they gain clarity and practical tools. Meaningful change often builds over time through consistent work and application between sessions. We’ll check in regularly to make sure therapy is helpful and aligned with what you need.

Question 3

What can I expect to happen in a therapy session?

Accepted Answer

Therapy typically begins with understanding what’s bringing you in and how it’s affecting your day-to-day life. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, building practical skills, and talking through real situations you’re dealing with—not just abstract feelings. Over time, therapy becomes a working space where insight and action come together to support meaningful change.

Question 4

What if I don't know if my health insurance covers our therapy sessions?

Accepted Answer

That’s okay—many people aren’t sure about coverage when they reach out. Our billing team will review your insurance benefits, help you understand potential costs, and clarify what’s covered before or early in the process. We aim to be transparent so there are no surprises and you can make informed decisions about care.
