Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need therapy? My personal opinion is that everyone can benefit from receiving therapy, but I am definitely biased in making that statement. To be more specific, people might be considered to "need" therapy if they find themselves experiencing thoughts, feelings, or behaviors that they find significantly distressing, upsetting, or disruptive to their day-to-day lives. If you are finding that your emotions seem to be "in charge" of you, instead of the other way around, it might be a good idea to look into therapy services.

What is the difference between psychologists, counselors, social workers, therapists, and psychiatrists? These terms all refer to different types of mental health providers, distinguished from one another by their type of degree, training, license, etc. The best way to tell the difference between provider types is to pay attention to the letters after their names (i.e., MA, MS, MEd, MSW, LMSW, LCSW, LPC, LMFT PsyD, PhD, LP, MP, MD, etc.).
