So, what is therapy really about?

​

Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if it is unfamiliar or if you’ve had a past experience that wasn’t the right fit (which happens!). You might be wondering what to expect or whether this will actually help.

​​

At its core, therapy is a space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Through guided conversations, you can gain insight, develop healthier coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change. There are many different therapeutic approaches including CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and more, but they all share a common goal: to foster self-awareness, resilience, deeper connections, and personal growth.​

Therapy isn’t something that’s done to you, it’s a collaborative process. The more engaged you are, the more you’ll get out of it. Change takes time, but with curiosity, openness, and a little persistence, therapy can be a powerful tool for growth.
