Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy

What can I expect in my first session?

Your first session is a gentle, welcoming space: we’ll get to know you, your concerns, and what brought you to therapy. We’ll discuss your history, current struggles, and goals. Then together we’ll begin crafting a path forward at a pace that feels right for you.

How long will therapy take?

That depends on you: some clients benefit from regular weekly (or biweekly) sessions over months; others choose an intensive format for faster, deeper healing. We’ll decide together what feels appropriate based on your unique situation and goals.

What if I’m not sure therapy is right for me yet?

That’s totally okay. Many people feel uncertain at first. Scheduling a free consultation is the perfect way to ask questions, feel out the vibe, and see whether this feels like a safe space for you.

Do I need to share every detail of my trauma to start therapy?

No. Therapy is a process, and you control the pace. You do not need to share more than you’re comfortable with. Comfortable pace, safety, and trust are central to trauma-informed care.
