People seek therapy for many different reasons, and it’s not uncommon to wonder if it’s the right step for you. Often, individuals come to us because they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to navigate challenges in their lives. You might notice recurring patterns in your thoughts, emotions, or behaviors that you’d like to change, or you might be struggling with a specific issue that feels too big to manage on your own.

Here are just a few examples of situations and concerns that therapy can help address:

• Emotional challenges: Feeling anxious, depressed, or unable to manage stress effectively.

• Life transitions: Adjusting to changes like a new job, divorce, moving, or becoming a parent.

• Relationship difficulties: Navigating conflict, communication issues, or disconnection with a partner, family member, or friend.

• Grief and loss: Coping with the death of a loved one or other significant losses.

• Trauma and healing: Processing past experiences that continue to affect your thoughts, emotions, or behaviors.

• Self-discovery: Exploring your values, beliefs, or identity and finding greater purpose and meaning in life.

• Behavioral patterns: Breaking cycles of procrastination, self-sabotage, or unhealthy habits.

• Work or school stress: Managing burnout, career challenges, or difficulties balancing responsibilities.

• Parenting and family dynamics: Navigating the complexities of parenting, blended families, or caregiving roles.

• Chronic health conditions: Finding ways to cope with pain, illness, or the emotional toll of a medical diagnosis.

Sometimes, people come to therapy without a clear problem in mind—they just know something feels “off,” or they want to feel more fulfilled in their lives. Others may have tried therapy before, with varying levels of success, and are seeking a fresh perspective or a therapist who feels like a better fit.

Therapy is a space where you can explore what’s going on in your life without judgment, in a way that’s tailored to your unique needs and experiences.

Yes, we offer both in-person and virtual therapy sessions, providing flexibility to meet your needs and preferences. Depending on the therapist, there may be options for in-person counseling at our office or secure online therapy sessions from the comfort of your home.

It’s important to note that some therapies are typically better suited for in-person sessions. For example, play therapy and other approaches involving hands-on or experiential techniques, such as sand tray or art-based therapies, are usually held in the office to allow full access to the tools and environment needed for effective work.

When you contact us, we’ll discuss your preferences and goals to help determine the best format for your therapy. Whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions, our priority is to create a safe and supportive space where you can focus on your growth and well-being.

The length of therapy sessions can vary depending on your specific needs and the focus of counseling. Typically, most sessions are approximately 55 minutes long, but this may differ based on the issue being addressed or the structure of therapy. Whatever the session length, it is discussed and agreed upon in advance as part of the scheduling process.

In terms of frequency, most clients are seen once a week. However, this can also vary depending on your goals and the type of therapy being provided. Some clients may attend therapy more frequently during particularly challenging times, while others may shift to biweekly or monthly sessions as their needs evolve.

The ages we work with vary depending on the therapist. Our play therapists typically work with children as young as 4 years old, while other therapists focus on working with adults, older teens, or a combination of both. Each therapist has their own areas of expertise and preferred age groups, which helps ensure the best possible fit for your needs.

When you contact us to schedule a session, we’ll discuss your age group and any specific preferences or goals you have for therapy. This allows us to match you with a therapist who is experienced in working with individuals in your age range and who can provide the support you’re looking for.

As therapists (LCMHCs, LCMHCAs, and LCSWs), we provide therapy but cannot prescribe medications. Physicians, such as psychiatrists (MDs), nurse practitioners, or physician assistants (PA’s) are typically able to prescribe medications. We can refer you to local providers if medication might be helpful in improving your overall functioning and managing symptoms. We’re happy to discuss this further with you during your sessions.
