At The Pickle Jar, we understand that therapy can be a new experience, and you might have some questions. Here are some frequently asked questions to help you decide if therapy is right for you:
Therapy is a collaborative process where you work with a qualified therapist to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It can help you develop healthy coping mechanisms, improve your relationships, and achieve your mental health goals. Therapy can be beneficial for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress management, relationship issues, and life transitions.
The first session will typically involve getting to know you, understanding your concerns and goals for therapy, and answering any questions you have about the process. Following sessions will focus on exploring your challenges and developing strategies for positive change. The pace and direction of therapy are collaborative, and you can always share your feedback with your therapist.
The length of therapy varies depending on your individual needs and goals. Some people benefit from short-term therapy, while others may choose to continue for a longer period. We will discuss the potential duration of therapy during your initial assessment.
