Frequently Asked Questions

Therapy is a deeply personal process, and the timeline for seeing results varies from person to person. Some clients notice changes after a few sessions, while others may require more time to explore and process their experiences. Progress depends on your goals, the challenges you're addressing, and your readiness to engage in the therapeutic process.

Therapy isn’t about being “fixed” because you are not broken. Instead, it’s about growth, healing, and self-discovery. Together, we’ll work on understanding your experiences, building resilience, and empowering you to live a life aligned with your values and goals.

“Getting better” looks different for everyone. It might mean feeling more confident, setting healthy boundaries, improving relationships, or learning to manage difficult emotions. In therapy, we’ll define what healing and progress mean to you and work toward those goals at your own pace.
