What to Expect

“It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.”
-Sir Edmund Hillary

Your therapeutic journey is like no other!

It all depends on what’s bringing you to therapy.

Sudden life transitions such as a change in work or relationship may require a brief intervention or short-term therapy (a few sessions) to help get you back on track.

Long-term therapy is typically more appropriate for working through major stressors, learning how to use coping skills, healing from trauma, processing grief and loss, or changing dysfunctional patterns.

Therapy tailored to you and your needs.

Whether you seek therapy for the first time or are returning, your therapy is all about what you need. Regardless of what is bringing you to therapy, we start by exploring who you are and how you got here. In the beginning, you might be unclear what your goals are and where you want to start.

Your openness and willingness are where we begin.

We’ll explore your life patterns that aren’t working and what you would like to see change. You will experience a safe, nonjudgmental, and confidential environment to share your story and experiences that will inform your therapeutic process.

You may be ready to identify goals, what you want to work on and look to begin by processing your experiences. On the other hand, you may struggle to identify where to start.

Either way, we’ll create a clear path mapped with meaningful goals to support your journey.

Your therapy is a genuine reflection of your inner strength.

By choosing to engage in therapy, you show your tremendous inner strength. True strength is gentle, requires patience, and trust that hope is your greatest teacher. Your therapy is an opportunity to tap into your gentle strength, listen to your heart, and discover your authentic self.

Your inner strength has guided the experiences that have made you who you are and have brought you to this moment.

Therapy allows you to become your best self.

You possess the greatest knowledge and awareness of your experiences.

When you start to heal from pain, manage troublesome emotions, and stop negative thought patterns, you become increasingly curious about your healing potential. Outside of the session, you notice increased feelings of happiness as the body and mind respond to healing. The symptoms that initially brought you to therapy improve, your energy increases, you experience a restful sleep, and you feel more connected with each passing day.

As you feel the benefits and effects of therapy, you’ll want to go further. You become able to manage stress better, intentionally devote time to self-care, and improve your relationships. Most of all, the relationship you have with yourself takes on a new meaning. You find that piece that has been missing… YOU!

Therapy becomes the equipment you use to continue to climb – to set new goals and achieve new heights. You might have never thought how powerful just breathing and meditating could be. Hesitant at first, you agreed to try it. Your therapy has helped change this perspective, and today, you reserve time to meditate and value this time set aside just for you. Meditation has become the door to awareness of new goals to support your growth and renewed mindset.
