In simple terms, mental health therapy helps people address and overcome intense emotions they may be experiencing. It involves talking to a trained professional who provides a supportive and confidential environment.

During mental health therapy sessions, clients are encouraged to express their concerns, discuss their goals, and work collaboratively with their therapist. Your therapist is there yo help you develop strategies for personal growth and positive life change. Therapy can provide emotional support, teach practical skills, promote personal development, and facilitate healing from past traumas or unresolved issues.

Your therapist may use different therapeutic approaches, such as dialectical-behavior therapy (DBT), eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), internal family systems (IFS), or cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) depending on the client's needs and preferences.

It's important to note that mental health therapy is a highly personalized process, and the specific techniques & duration of treatment can vary depending on the individual and their unique circumstances. Your therapist's role is to guide and support you on your journey toward improved mental and emotional well-being. This can range from a few months to a few years depending on treatment goals and life experiences.

Online mental health therapy typically involves video or audio calls between a client and a therapist, facilitated by secure online communication tools. Clients can connect with their therapist from the comfort of their own homes using a computer, smartphone, or tablet. This offers convenience, accessibility, and flexibility, making mental health support more readily available to everyone.

In your first therapy appointment, also known as the intake appointment, you can expect your therapist to ask about your reasons for seeking therapy and gather relevant background & life information. You'll have the chance to share your thoughts, feelings, & goals in a judgement-free environment. Your intake appointment is an opportunity to establish a relationship with your therapist and determine if it's a good fit for ongoing therapy.
