Frequently Asked Questions

Therapy can be beneficial for various concerns, such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, grief, and more. Therapy may be a helpful resource if you’re experiencing difficulties that impact your daily life, relationships, or well-being. Remember, seeking therapy doesn’t mean you’re “broken” or incapable; it’s a courageous step towards self-improvement and mental well-being. If you’re unsure, a mental health professional can help you assess whether therapy suits your current circumstances. It’s always okay to reach out for support when needed.
