FAQs
How does your approach to therapy work?
Each therapist has their own unique approach, whether it’s using cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, or person-centered methods. Your therapist will explain how they work and what methods they use to support clients like you.
How do you help clients feel comfortable opening up?
Your therapist understands that starting therapy can be challenging. They’ll create a non-judgmental, warm environment where you can share at your own pace. Building trust is essential, and they’ll work with you to ensure you feel safe.
How will you and I work together toward my goals?
Therapy is a collaborative process. You and your therapist will define your goals together, and they’ll guide you with strategies and tools to support those goals. They’ll check in regularly to make sure you’re progressing in a way that feels right for you.
What should I do if I feel stuck or don’t see progress?
Therapists understand that sometimes progress can feel slow or challenging. If you feel stuck, bring it up in a session. They’ll work with you to identify any barriers and adjust the approach as needed to ensure you’re getting the support you need.
How do you handle sensitive or personal issues in therapy?
Your therapist is trained to address sensitive topics with empathy and respect. They’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you and will never pressure you to discuss anything before you’re ready.
