Frequently asked questions
Starting therapy without a specific goal is perfectly okay. Therapy can be beneficial for exploring various aspects of your life, gaining clarity, and enhancing self-awareness. Together with your therapist, you'll work to identify and define your goals, whether they're related to overcoming challenges, improving relationships, or enhancing overall well-being.
If you're experiencing a crisis or urgent need outside of therapy sessions, it's important to seek support immediately. You can reach out to crisis hotlines, local mental health resources, or emergency services for immediate assistance. Additionally, your therapist may provide crisis intervention strategies or referrals to appropriate resources to ensure your safety and well-being.
As a Counseling Psychologist, I primarily focus on providing psychotherapy to address emotional, behavioral, and relational concerns.

It's essential to work with a therapist who respects and values your cultural background, identity, and experiences.

Therapists provide guidance, support, and tools to help you navigate challenges and develop coping strategies.

Therapy is a collaborative process where you and your therapist work together to explore issues, identify goals, and create positive changes in your life.
