Frequently Asked Questions

It can be concerning feeling like things you say or do in therapy could "get out." So we want you to know that unless there is an imminent danger to yourself or someone else (we can explain this more when we talk!), everything you share with your provider is completely confidential. We highly respect your privacy and value your trust. If you have specific questions about how confidentiality works, you can ask during your free phone consultation or anytime during therapy.

We offer a free 15 min phone consultation where you can discuss what's on your mind and we can decide together how we can help. Email us today or click the icon to the right to schedule a free phone consultation info@anxietyandocdhelp.com(mailto:info@anxityandocdhelp.com)

Overall, you can think of the first session as a free-flowing conversation through which we start getting to know each other. The therapist will invite you to share more about yourself and you can also talk about what’s worked or not worked for your mental health in the past. Some questions that are typically asked during a first session include: • What brought you to therapy? • Have you gone to therapy before? How did that go? • What do I need to know about you to understand your current challenges? You can ask your therapist questions as well. You might be curious about about their training or what sessions will be like. The most important part of a first session is that you see if you feel your therapist is a good fit for you. If you feel calm, heard, and cared for with, you can discuss if you’d like to meet again.

You might be asking about how long therapy will take because you are currently struggling and want relief fast. If this is true for you, we want you to know that on average, new clients start seeing small amounts of growth quickly and start learning skills to help in the first few sessions. By that point, they feel like they have learned some ways to manage challenging stuff in their lives a bit better. ​ The total duration of therapy varies from client to client, the duration of therapy really varies and depends on your needs and goals. Some clients come for as little as 8-16 weeks, while other clients feel more supported by longer term therapy. It’s important to remember, however, that faster isn’t better and neither is more. Everyone works at their own pace and has their own needs. You will work together with your provider to find the length of time that works for you.
