+ How do I know if a therapist is a good fit for me?

Having a therapist whose style is compatible with your needs is a vital component to your progress in therapy. Feel free to get a sense of the therapist's approach by reading their website and bio. It's also a great idea to ask questions about their particular style or approach to therapy in order to help you gauge whether they would be a good fit for you. If they offer a free consultation, use that time to ask questions and gauge whether you feel safe, heard, and comfortable.

+ How many sessions do I need?

The number of sessions you need is entirely personal to you, your situation, and the goals you are hoping to achieve in therapy. For very specific goals, short-term therapy can be an ideal approach. For many, therapy often leads to changing goals and ongoing exploration that can lead to weeks, months, or years in therapy. It all depends on you and your needs.

+ What if I have a session scheduled but I don't have anything to talk about?

Therapy is a unique process for everyone, and sometimes having nothing to talk about in particular that week could signify that you are ready to reduce the frequency of your sessions due to your progress. Having nothing to talk about can also be a great opportunity to explore what is working well in your life! The therapy sessions are there for you to hold space for whatever it is that is coming up.
