Expectations
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or navigating a major life change, therapy can offer you the tools, support, and insights to move forward with greater confidence and clarity. But what exactly happens during therapy, and what should you expect from the process?
What you can expect:
A Safe, Non-Judgmental Space: Therapy is a place where you can express yourself freely and work through challenges without fear of judgment.
A Collaborative Process: Therapy is a partnership between you and your therapist. You’ll work together to set goals, develop strategies, and process emotions.
Gradual Progress: Healing and growth take time. Some weeks will be harder than others, but every step forward counts.
Active Participation: You play an important role in your therapy journey. Your engagement, openness, and willingness to do the work will help you get the most out of therapy.
Ongoing Support: Therapy is a place to develop lasting tools for managing life’s challenges, and even after it ends, you can always return for additional support when needed.

our guiding principles
GROWTH
We view therapy as a journey of personal growth—an opportunity for you to better understand yourself, build resilience, and discover your strengths. We honor the process of change and encourage a mindset that embraces continuous learning.
COMPASSION
Compassion is the heart of our practice. We recognize that each person is unique, carrying with them their own set of experiences, struggles, and aspirations. We approach every individual with kindness, empathy, and a deep sense of understanding. .
SAFETY
Safety is the foundation upon which healing is built. We create a space where you can feel secure—emotionally, mentally, and physically. In therapy, you can explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of harm, embarrassment, or retaliation.
INCLUSIVITY
We are committed to creating an inclusive space that welcomes people from all walks of life, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, socioeconomic background, or ability. We recognize that every person’s experiences are shaped by their identity, and we celebrate the diversity of the individuals we serve.
