How Psychotherapy Works
If you’ve never had therapy before, it’s natural to feel uncertain. Knowing how psychotherapy works can help ease concerns and give you confidence to take the first step.

Each session typically lasts 50 minutes and provides space to:
Psychotherapy can take different forms, such as:
Many clients report:
“From start to finish, it taught me so much about myself.”
“Thank you for challenging me when I needed it.”
“I can’t believe how much progress I’ve made in a short time.”
“After many years of therapy, you are the first person who gets me.”
The first session is about understanding your needs and goals. It’s a chance to ask questions and get comfortable with the process.
Most clients attend weekly sessions, but the frequency can be adjusted to your personal needs.
That’s okay. Therapy is a space to explore your thoughts, even if you’re not sure where to start.
You may notice improvements in your mood, relationships, or ability to cope with stress. Progress can be gradual, but consistent.
