Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy

Here are some answers to the most common questions visitors to our site have asked about therapy. You are always welcome to call our office with any specific questions.

Is therapy confidential?

Various state and federal laws protect the confidentiality of all communications between clients and their psychologists. No information will be disclosed without prior written permission from the client.

However, if a client submits receipts for services to their insurance provider, the insurance carrier may require some information about treatment to obtain reimbursement for paid services.

There are a few exceptional circumstances in which the law requires therapists to break confidentiality. These situations include:

Suspected child abuse
Suspected elder abuse
A client threatening serious bodily harm to another person or group
A client is endorsing plans to harm themselves
A court order

Please refer to our office policies for more detailed information.

How can therapy help me?

Therapy isn’t just about talking—it’s about changing your life. It’s a powerful tool to help you break through barriers, conquer challenges, and unlock your full potential. Whether you’re battling anxiety, depression, unresolved childhood wounds, relationship struggles, creative blocks, or the stress of daily life, therapy equips you with the tools to take control and thrive.

Imagine having an expert ally by your side—someone who provides unwavering support, sharp problem-solving strategies, and fresh perspectives to tackle life’s toughest moments. Therapy isn’t just about surviving; it’s about thriving.

Here’s what therapy can do for you:

Discover Your True Self: Gain a deeper understanding of who you are, what drives you, and what truly matters in your life.
Elevate Your Relationships: Learn the skills to strengthen connections, resolve conflicts, and build healthier, more meaningful relationships.
Find Clarity & Closure: Address the issues that brought you to therapy and uncover solutions to move forward.
Master Stress & Anxiety: Arm yourself with proven strategies to keep stress and anxiety in check.
Manage Emotions With Confidence: Transform how you handle anger, grief, depression, and emotional pressure.
Communicate Like a Pro: Sharpen your communication and listening skills to navigate any conversation with ease.
Break Old Patterns: Leave behind behaviors that no longer serve you and create new habits that drive growth.
Reignite Your Self-Worth: Boost your self-esteem and step into every situation with confidence.
Strengthen the Bonds That Matter: Deepen your marriage, friendships, and family relationships in ways you never thought possible.

Therapy is more than a process—it’s a game-changer. The results depend on how much you’re willing to invest in yourself and apply what you learn. Are you ready to break free from what’s holding you back and start living the life you deserve? The first step starts here.

How soon will I feel better?

Everyone responds to therapy differently. Some feel relief right away simply by sharing their struggles and taking that first step toward better mental health. From the first session, I’ll immediately provide support and practical tools to help ease anxiety and stress.

How long should I expect therapy to last?

There is no specific time period due to individual differences. However, at the first session, I will provide a treatment plan, and we will discuss the various avenues available to you so that you can make an informed decision.

What is therapy like?

Therapy is tailored to your unique needs and goals, so each experience is different. Generally, sessions involve discussing current life events, exploring relevant personal history, and reflecting on progress or insights from previous sessions.

Therapy can be short-term to address specific issues or longer-term for deeper patterns and personal growth. Most people schedule regular sessions at first and then tailor off until they graduate.

Therapy works best when you actively participate. The goal is to apply what you learn in sessions to your everyday life.

I will suggest activities outside of therapy, like journaling, reading, or taking steps toward your goals.

Successful therapy often starts with a willingness to embrace change, explore new perspectives, and take responsibility for your growth.
