Questions
Why choose therapy over talking to friends or family?
Therapy provides a confidential space focused solely on your needs without judgment or guilt. Our evidence-based approach develops specific skills for emotional wellness.
How does therapy complement medication?
Therapy and medication work together like exercise and diet. While medication addresses biological factors, therapy develops behavioral skills and insight for comprehensive wellness.
What happens during therapy sessions?
Sessions involve exploring your experiences, values, and challenges using CBT techniques. We'll identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills through weekly homework assignments.
How long does therapy typically last?
We recommend weekly sessions for 6 months with flexible duration based on individual progress. The goal is to complete therapy while maintaining ongoing support options.
What therapeutic approaches are used?
We primarily use CBT for cognitive pattern modification and DBT for emotional regulation. Both evidence-based approaches effectively treat anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.
