FAQs

Therapy

I’ve never talked to anyone. I’m used to handling things on my own. Aren’t people who go to therapy weak?

Absolutely Not! Those who seek help are often aware of their needs and have the courage to reach out. Everyone requires assistance at times. In our collaboration, we will help you discover and leverage your strengths to mitigate the challenges you face.

What’s the difference between talking to a therapist, my best friend, or family?

The difference between talking to a therapist, friend, or family member is that therapists are neutral individuals who care to listen. They maintain an open and empathic space to aid you in learning new skills, gaining different perspectives, and listening to you without judgment or expectations. Additionally, counseling is completely confidential, so you won’t have to worry about others knowing your business.

How does therapy and medication management work well together?

Medication can be effective, but it cannot address all issues on its own. Often, it is most beneficial when combined with counseling. Our collaboration aims to explore the challenges you face and leverage your strengths to help you achieve your personal goals.

How does it work? What do I have to do in sessions?

Because each person's reasons for seeking therapy can differ significantly, our therapeutic approach is designed to be flexible and adaptable. This means that we take the time to understand your unique situation, preferences, and goals. By doing so, we can tailor our methods and techniques to effectively address your specific needs and challenges. Our aim is to create a personalized experience that fosters growth and healing, ensuring you receive the support that resonates with you.

How long will it take?

Fortunately, therapy is tailored to each individual, couple, and family, and it is impossible to give a general answer. Everyone’s circumstances are unique, and the length of time counseling can take to help you accomplish your goals depends on your desire for personal development, your commitment, and the factors that are driving you to seek counseling in the first place.

I want to get the most out of therapy. What can I do?

We are thrilled that you are committed to making the most of your sessions. Your dedication, active participation, and consistent attendance will be vital to your success.

Relational and Sex Therapy

Is sex therapy only for people with sexual dysfunction?

No. It’s for anyone seeking to explore, heal, or enhance their sexual life or intimacy.

Do I have to talk about my sex life in detail?

Only what you’re comfortable with. Your therapist will never pressure you.

Will my partner and I both attend?

That’s up to you. We offer individual and couples sessions.

Is sex therapy LGBTQIA+ inclusive?

Absolutely. We affirm all orientations, identities, and relationship models.

Can I talk about kinks and fetishes safely?

Yes. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive and nonjudgmental space that champions a sex-positive environment and encourages healthy attitudes toward sexual expression.

Our approach emphasizes the importance of open dialogue about kinks, fetishes, and diverse lifestyles, allowing individuals to explore these topics without fear of stigma or shame. By fostering a safe and supportive atmosphere, we aim to cultivate a deep sense of self-acceptance and personal empowerment within the therapeutic process.

Every conversation is valued here, and each person's unique experiences are honored, facilitating personal growth and understanding in a compassionate context.

How long does therapy typically last?

The effectiveness of therapy varies depending on the individual’s goals. Achieving desired improvements and changes requires active participation from the client. It is crucial to recognize that therapy does not cease once the session concludes; rather, it continues beyond the physical presence in the therapy office.

Our clients are expected to intentionally implement the changes they desire to experience in their lives and relationships.
