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 counsel as they pursue their own personal exploration and growth.
Working with a therapist can provide insight, support, and new strategies for all types of life challenges. Therapy can help address many issues including depression, anxiety, conflict, grief, stress management, body-image 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.
A number of benefits are available from participating in psychotherapy. Therapists can provide support, problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, unresolved childhood issues, grief, stress management, body image issues, and creative blocks.
Many people also find that counselors can be a tremendous asset to managing personal growth, interpersonal relationships, family concerns, marriage issues, and the hassles of daily life.
Therapists can provide a fresh perspective on a difficult problem or point you in the direction of a solution. The benefits you obtain from therapy depend on how well you use the process and put into practice what you learn. Some of the benefits available from therapy include:
Every therapy session is unique and caters to each individual and their specific goals. It is standard for therapists to discuss the primary issues and concerns in your life during therapy sessions.
It is common to schedule a series of weekly sessions, each session lasting around fifty minutes.
Therapy can be short-term, focusing on a specific issue, or longer-term, addressing more complex issues or ongoing personal growth. There may be times when you are asked to take certain actions outside of the therapy sessions, such as reading a relevant book or keeping records to track certain behaviors.
It is important to process what has been discussed and integrate it into your life between sessions.
For therapy to be most effective you must be an active participant, both during and between sessions. People seeking psychotherapy are willing to take responsibility for their actions, to work towards self-change and to create greater awareness in their lives. Here are some things you can expect out of therapy:
In some cases a combination of medication and therapy is the right course of action. Working with your therapist as well as medical doctor, you can determine what’s best for you.
It is well established that the long-term solution to mental and emotional problems and the pain they cause cannot be solved solely by medication. Instead of just treating the symptom, therapy addresses the cause of our distress and the behavior patterns that curb our progress.
You can achieve sustainable growth and a greater sense of well-being with an integrative approach to wellness.

The length of therapy is a highly individualized matter and can vary from person to person. The duration of therapy is influenced by several factors, including the nature of your concerns, your goals for therapy, and your progress over time.
Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and it can be short-term or long-term, depending on your unique needs. Some individuals may benefit from just a few sessions to address a specific issue or learn coping strategies, while others may find that longer-term therapy is more suitable for their goals.
Your therapist will work closely with you to set treatment goals and regularly assess your progress.
Together, you and your therapist will determine the appropriate length of therapy based on your evolving needs and the achievement of your therapeutic objectives.
It’s important to keep in mind that therapy is a dynamic process, and there is no fixed timeline for everyone.
The goal of therapy is to provide you with the support, strategies, and insights you need to improve your well-being and achieve your desired outcomes. As we progress in therapy, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss the estimated duration of therapy and make adjustments as necessary to meet your evolving needs and goals.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
