Medication can be very helpful for some people, and for many, therapy and medication work well together. Therapy helps you better understand your experiences, develop new ways of responding to difficult emotions, and create lasting changes that medication alone may not provide. If you're currently taking medication or considering it, we can discuss how therapy fits into your overall treatment plan.
How does therapy work? What will I need to do in sessions?
Therapy is tailored to your unique needs, so it can look different for each person. During sessions, we'll work together to explore what's bringing you to therapy, the challenges you're facing, and what you hope to achieve. You don't need to prepare or have all the answers—and you don't have to know exactly where to begin or have the "right" words. We'll figure that out together. What matters most is that you show up willing to explore what's going on inside.
How long will therapy take?
It's hard to say exactly how long therapy will take because everyone's journey is different. The time it takes depends on your specific challenges, your goals, and how ready you are to engage in the process. We'll move at a pace that feels right for you, and I'll be there to support you along the way. Some people notice meaningful changes within a relatively short time, while others choose to continue longer as they work toward deeper healing and personal growth.
Will I have to talk about everything that happened right away?
No. One of the most common concerns people have is that therapy means immediately talking through every painful experience. That isn't how I approach therapy. We'll move at a pace that feels safe for you. Building trust, helping you feel grounded, and understanding your goals come first. Together, we'll decide when—and if—it feels appropriate to explore difficult experiences.
