What can I expect during my first session?

During your first session, your provider will conduct an initial assessment to understand your concerns, history, and goals. They may ask questions about your symptoms, family background, and relevant medical history. This information helps them gain a comprehensive understanding of your situation, allowing them to recommend an appropriate treatment plan. It's also an opportunity for you to ask questions and discuss any concerns you may have.

How often are your sessions?

Initially, sessions are typically scheduled on a weekly basis to establish a therapeutic relationship and address immediate concerns. As progress is made, sessions may be gradually spaced out to biweekly or monthly. Your therapist will collaboratively determine the appropriate frequency based on your progress and goals.

Mental Health & Me

How do I know if I need psychiatric services or therapy?

If you are experiencing persistent emotional distress, difficulties in daily functioning, or a decline in overall well-being, it may be beneficial to seek therapy or psychiatric services. Common signs include feeling overwhelmed, experiencing changes in appetite or sleep patterns, struggling with relationships, or experiencing intense mood swings. Consulting with a mental health professional can help determine the most appropriate course of action based on your individual circumstances.

How can a mental health professional actually help me?

A mental health professional can provide valuable support and guidance in various ways. They can help you gain insight into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and work with you to develop coping strategies and problem-solving skills. They can offer evidence-based therapies tailored to your needs, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), to help manage symptoms and promote personal growth. Overall, a mental health professional provides a non-judgmental space for you to explore your concerns and navigate your path to improved mental well-being.

Why is seeking professional help better than just talking with friends or family?

Seeking professional help from a mental health professional provides several advantages. Mental health professionals have specialized training and expertise in understanding and treating mental health conditions. They offer a neutral and unbiased perspective, maintaining confidentiality and providing a safe space for open discussion. Additionally, they can provide evidence-based therapeutic interventions and personalized treatment plans to address your specific needs.

How long does it take to see results from therapy/psychiatric sessions?

The timeline for seeing results from therapy varies depending on individual circumstances. Some individuals may notice improvements in a relatively short time, while others may require a longer-term commitment. The key is to remain consistent and actively engage in the therapeutic process. Working collaboratively with your therapist, you can expect to see positive changes in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors over time.
