Why Therapy?

We sometimes require the help and guidance of a therapist to obtain an objective insight based on our subjective world. I believe that a positive, responsive and safe therapeutic relationship can help achieve our personal desires.

There is a yearning to grow, connect and understand our wants and needs. As humans, we have an intrinsic need to be known, seen, affirmed and accepted for who we are. Therefore, we strive towards that personal desire to get out of our confusion and maladjustments. This can be achieved through professional psychotherapy and counseling.

Current brain research teaches and shows that we are wired for growth and healing. The ability of our brain to change coupled with the effectiveness of a therapeutic relationship is a connection that has tremendous implication for psychotherapy. If you suffer with issues of depression, feelings of fear, anxiety, or loneliness, or you feel generally dissatisfied with aspects of your life, our combined work together can or will provide hope and a path towards greater peace and happiness.

Is therapy right for me?

Seeking out therapy is an individual choice. There are many reasons why people come to therapy. Sometimes it is to deal with long-standing psychological issues, or problems with anxiety or depression. Other times it is in response to unexpected changes in one's life such as a divorce or work transition. Many seek the advice of a therapist as they pursue their own personal exploration and growth. Working with a therapist can help provide insight, support, and new strategies for all types of life challenges. Therapy can help address issues including depression, anxiety, grief, stress management, body-images issues, and general life transitions. Therapy is right for anyone who is interested in getting the most out of their life by taking responsibility, creating greater self-awareness, and working towards change in their lives.
What can I expect in a therapy session?

Every therapy session is unique and caters to each individual and their specific goals. During therapy sessions you can talk about the primary issues and concerns in your life. It is common to have a series of weekly sessions, where each session lasts 45 to 60 minutes. Sometimes individuals who are going through a particularly difficult challenge may request more time per session or more than one session per week. Therapy can be short-term, focusing on a specific issues or longer-term, addressing more complex issues or ongoing personal growth. For therapy to be most effective you must be an active participant, both during and between the sessions.
What benefits can I expected from working with a therapist?

Therapy can provide insight and new perspectives into life's challenges and can help create solutions to difficult problems. Many people find that working with a therapist can enhance personal development, improve relationships and family dynamics, and can ease the challenges of daily life. Sometimes, just having someone there to listen is helpful. Overall, people in therapy tend to have lower levels of anxiety and stress, decreased conflict, and improved quality of life.

Is therapy confidential?

In general, the law protects the confidentiality of all communications between a client and a psychotherapist. Information is not disclosed without written permission. However, there are number of exceptions to this rule. Exceptions include: Suspected child abuse. The therapist is required by law to report this to the appropriate authorities. If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person(s). If a client intends to harm himself or herself. The therapist will make every effort to enlist their cooperation in insuring their safety. If they do not cooperate, further measures may be taken without their permission in order to ensure their safety.
