Frequently Asked Questions

How can a therapist help me?

There are a number of benefits of therapy. If you’re looking for support, help with solving a tricky problem, or coping strategies to deal with anxiety, trauma, grief, stress, family and relationship issues, a therapist can help you.

A therapist’s job is to listen attentively to you, help you get to the root of your problems, and offer feedback. When you work with a psychotherapist, the focus is on empowering you with the tools you need to resolve your problems and make positive changes in your life.

Therapy often works most effectively when used in conjunction with other healing methods, both traditional and alternative.

What if my culture or upbringing has a different view of counseling or therapy?

Looking for and asking for guidance is a sign of strength. Your culture and your upbringing plays an important role in your life and it will also play a role in your healing. It is important to find a therapist who is sensitive to and has experience in multi-cultural counseling.

How do I choose a therapist?

Therapy is a very personal thing. And if you don’t feel you can trust or feel comfortable or even get along well, with your therapist, it will make the process much more difficult than it needs to be!

It’s natural to feel apprehensive or nervous if you’re new to the therapy process. But if you don’t feel comfortable immediately after the first session, try someone else.
