Other Common Questions About Counseling:

I’ve never been to counseling. What should I expect?

Counseling is extremely personal and individualized to your needs, so it is difficult to predict what may happen without meeting you first. Sometimes a counseling session feels like the only place where you can truly let go. Sometimes it feels like the home you never had. And sometimes it feels like a kick in the pants! You can expect our counselors to be kind and non-judgemental, but also to call you on any BS and to challenge you… and to always only lead you as far as you need to go and to support you through every step.

How long should I expect to be in counseling?

It is difficult to know how long you may need to heal, since every person’s circumstances are so different. Some problems are easily addressed within a couple months, and others take years. However, your counselor may be able to give you some guidance around this after getting to know you in the first couple sessions.

Do you only work with women/girls?

No! We love working with people of all genders and sexual identities. The majority of our clients are women, but all of our counselors see some male clients, as well.

Are you religious? Is religion allowed in counseling?

Our counselors follow a variety of faiths, and we respect one another’s beliefs. Counseling and religion are both deeply personal so it is common that you may want to discuss your religion, beliefs, and even doubts in counseling. All discussion and exploration is welcome, and you can rest assured that our counselors will not try to convince you of any particular set of beliefs.

Do you talk to parents about what happens in child/teen counseling sessions?

Confidentiality between client and counselor is imperative for a successful and trusting counseling relationship. Therefore, we generally do not share the content of psychotherapy sessions with parents. We do communicate regularly with parents and will suggest family therapy if an open dialogue is needed. We also assess each child/teen’s needs and communicate with parents as necessary in emergencies.

Do you provide medication?

As licensed counselors, we do not provide prescriptions for medication. However, medication can be helpful for many people who struggle with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and many other issues. Medication can be effective for many people but is generally shown to be most effective when paired with psychotherapy. If we believe medication may help, we will provide you a referral. We are happy to work with your physician if you are currently receiving medication.
