Frequently Asked Questions
If you are in a crisis, please seek help immediately!
I’ve never talked to a therapist. I’m used to handling concerns on my own. Aren’t people who go to therapy needy or weak?
Actually, people who contact therapists know that they need assistance and have tremendous courage in taking the necessary steps. The truth is everyone needs help and guidance now and then in life. It is important to note that reaching out and seeing a therapist for the first time can create uneasy feelings which are normal and natural.
