Frequently Asked Questions

Therapy can be beneficial for anyone, not just those in crisis, but especially if you're experiencing emotional distress, mental health struggles, or facing challenges in your personal or professional life. It’s a helpful resource even if you’re not in a crisis, but simply feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about how to manage emotions or circumstances. Therapy provides a safe space to explore your feelings and gain insight into your thoughts, helping you to move forward with clarity. Trusting your instincts and seeking help when needed is an important step in your well-being.

Yes, therapy can be highly effective for children and adolescents who may be dealing with emotional, behavioral, or developmental challenges. Therapy can help them develop coping skills, manage stress, and address issues such as anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Specialized therapists trained in child and adolescent care provide support tailored to younger individuals' needs.

While friends and family can offer support, a therapist provides a neutral, professional perspective and utilizes evidence-based techniques to address your mental health needs. Therapists are trained to help you explore deeper issues, manage emotions effectively, and offer strategies for coping with challenges. Therapy is a safe, confidential space where you can openly discuss thoughts and feelings without judgment.

While medication can be helpful for managing certain mental health conditions, therapy offers long-term benefits by addressing the root causes of emotional distress, teaching coping strategies, and fostering personal growth. Therapy can provide insights, skills, and emotional tools that complement medication, and in some cases, may reduce the need for medication over time.
