What is therapy?

Therapy is a collaborative space where you gain skills, clarity, and support to navigate life’s challenges. We focus on practical strategies, emotional growth, and, when relevant, integrating your faith in meaningful ways.

When is therapy helpful?

Therapy can be beneficial in many seasons of life—not only when things feel overwhelming, but also when you simply want to grow, heal, or gain new tools to live more fully. Below are common situations where therapy is often helpful, along with what research says about its effectiveness.

Common Situations Where Therapy Helps

  • Persistent stress, anxiety, or worry

  • Depressive symptoms, low mood, or loss of meaning

  • Major life transitions (career changes, divorce, relocation, new parenthood)

  • Grief, loss, or unresolved trauma

  • Relationship conflicts (intimate, family, friendships)

  • Identity, purpose, or meaning struggles

  • Burnout, overwhelm, or feelings of being stuck

  • Behavior patterns or coping habits you want to change

What can I expect in a therapy session?

Sessions are collaborative and skill-focused. You will:

  • Explore current challenges and patterns

  • Learn practical tools for managing emotions

  • Set actionable goals for growth

  • Receive support that honors your faith and values

We offer flexible options to fit your lifestyle:

  • In-Person: Experience therapy in a safe, welcoming office.

  • Virtual: Secure video sessions from the comfort of your home.

How long does therapy last?

Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes. The overall length of therapy varies depending on your goals, insurance requirements, personal preferences, and availability. In terms of the duration of therapy, some clients benefit from short-term support, others from ongoing work. Ultimately, you get to decide what is the most helpful route for you.

A few other things to consider

  • You don’t need to “have it all together” to benefit from therapy. Even early distress or confusion is a valid time to seek support.

  • Consistency matters. Regular sessions over time often yield more durable change than sporadic visits.

  • Expect growth in multiple areas. Many clients find that therapy shifts more than symptoms—it changes relationships, self-awareness, confidence, and life direction.

  • Therapy is tailored. What “helps” in therapy depends on your goals, needs, and willingness to engage in the process.
