Most therapy sessions are about an hour long. You’ll get 53 minutes of actual therapy time, and then the therapist will take 7 minutes afterward to wrap up some paperwork.
Therapy is a collaborative effort between you and your provider. You will come up with goals to help you move through some of the difficulties you are experiencing.
Therapy is not like a regular conversation, and sometimes that might take a little getting used to. For example, your therapist may not simply agree with you like a friend would. Their job is to help you understand yourself more and come to a place of accepting yourself and making any necessary changes.
You may find that the therapeutic process brings up some uncomfortable feelings, but your therapist is there in a supportive capacity to help you process those feelings. Many come out of a therapy session with a lot on their mind and often feel they need a little while to think over the things discussed. This is completely normal!
One common misconception about therapy is the belief that the therapist is supposed to make decisions for the client. However, this is not the role of a therapist. If a therapist were to make a difficult decision for a client and even if it turns out well, it would not be helpful for two reasons: 1) The client would not feel a sense of achievement because they would lose responsibility for the positive outcome, and 2) the client would be left unable to make difficult decisions in the future. Instead, therapy focuses on examining why the client feels stuck and collaborating on finding ways to progress.
Your first appointment is typically within 10 business days for routine/non-urgent appointments. If you have an urgent need, please refer to our Crisis Contacts.
We offer both in person and online appointments. Depending on your goals and circumstances, your provider will determine the appropriate level of care required and whether online appointments are appropriate.
You will spend 15 minutes filling out our intake forms to document your health history and care preferences. Understanding your goals is essential for us to find a provider who specializes in those areas. After we receive your completed forms, you will have a 45-minute video call with a licensed therapist. This call will help us better understand your needs and preferences for therapy.
Providers can only treat patients located in the states where they hold licenses. Before traveling, please consult your provider about continuity of care.
We recognize how vital it is for you to express your thoughts and feelings clearly, especially if English is not your first language. Communicating complex emotions can be challenging and impede your therapeutic journey, which is why we offer care in 14 different languages. Therapy in your native language can lead to better outcomes, stronger connections with your therapist, and a more comfortable experience overall.
