Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to feel better in therapy for depression?▾
Many clients notice small improvements in 4–6 weeks; significant symptom reduction often takes 8–12 weeks with consistent therapy and, if applicable, medication. Progress varies by individual.
What is the difference between therapy and coaching?▾
Therapy addresses clinical depression, anxiety, and trauma with evidence-based treatment. Coaching focuses on goals and skills. Many clients benefit from both; your therapist can recommend a coach if appropriate.
Do I have to talk about childhood trauma in therapy?▾
No. Therapy focuses on your current concerns and goals. If childhood experiences are relevant to present symptoms, your therapist may explore that with your permission.
Can I try therapy without medication?▾
Yes. Many people recover from depression and anxiety with therapy alone. If symptoms are severe or not improving, your therapist can recommend evaluation for medication as an adjunct.
Is confidentiality protected in therapy?▾
Therapist-patient confidentiality is protected by law. We do not share notes or discuss your sessions without written authorization, except in emergencies involving imminent danger.
