FAQs

  1. How do I know if I should see a therapist?
    You might think your problem isn’t “big enough” or maybe feels overwhelming—either way, therapy can be helpful for any struggle. Common reasons include issues with daily life, school, work, relationships, negative feelings, life transitions, self-esteem, coping strategies, or personal growth.

  2. What if I don’t feel my therapist is a good fit?
    It’s completely normal to wonder about this. Your therapy journey is yours, and it’s okay to try different therapists until you find someone who fits your needs. If you’re unsure, you can reach out to our Studio Coordinators or talk with your therapist. Finding the right connection is key.

  3. How is talking to a therapist different from talking to a friend?
    While your therapist is someone you can confide in, therapy involves evidence-based methods that offer guidance, insight, and tools to help outside of sessions. It’s a professional space designed for growth and support.

  4. What if I don’t know what to talk about or where to start?
    Feeling unsure at first is normal. You can share what brought you to therapy, your feelings, or daily experiences. There’s no “right” way to begin—your therapist is there to help you explore what’s important to you.

  5. What does a therapist do during sessions?
    They listen, explore your concerns, challenge thoughts, and use specific tools to support your goals. They also take notes to reflect on what you share. Feel free to ask them about anything they write—they’re happy to explain.

  6. Will therapy offer a “quick fix”?
    Typically, therapy involves reflective, ongoing work that can bring up vulnerability and take time. Be patient with yourself and your process. Your therapist can help set realistic expectations so we can work together comfortably.

  7. I don’t understand the different types of therapists. Who is right for me?
    Therapist titles can vary, but we have a helpful guide explaining the different options. If you’re still unsure, our Studio Coordinators can assist you in finding a good match based on your needs.
