How do I know if I need therapy?

If you have questions about whether therapy is right for you, having a consultation session with me is a good place to start. Unlike common misperceptions, therapy is not only for people who experience mental health issues. It is unfortunate that the stigma associated with seeking therapy is one of the main reasons that turn people away.

What is therapy?

Therapy serves various purposes depending on the needs of the individual. Many describe therapy to be a highly personal and unique experience. Therapy is a place for personal exploration and growth. For some, it provides support and comfort during difficult and stressful times. In other cases, therapy helps one to identify and overcome barriers in life, allowing one to reach their goals.

How long will therapy last?

The length of therapy differs from case to case. For instance, it can last a few sessions for parents who needs parenting skill training to work with their 5-year-old child. However, treatment might last much longer for someone who is struggling with chronic depression.
