    In general, the law protects the confidentiality of all communications between a client and psychotherapist.

    However, there are some exceptions required by law to this rule. These exceptions include:

    Suspected child abuse or dependent adult or elder abuse. The therapist is required to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.

    If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person. The therapist is required to notify the police. (Duty to warn).

    Self-harm or suicide. If a therapist determines that a client is at risk of self-harm or suicide, they have a legal and ethical obligation to take appropriate steps to ensure the client's safety. The specific procedures and reporting requirements can vary based on the therapist's location and the local laws and regulations. In many cases, these may include (but not be limited to) calling 911 or 988 for support.

  • Therapy is new to me, how should I prepare?

    We are genuinely in awe that you've chosen to start this therapeutic journey and we are inspired by your courage — truly!

    Before beginning, you may want to take some time to reflect on your reasons for seeking therapy and what you hope to achieve. Consider jotting down key points, concerns, or questions you want to discuss during your sessions.

    It might help to familiarize yourself with the type of therapy you'll be receiving.

    Understanding these “modalities” can alleviate any uncertainties and help you feel more at ease during your sessions.

    Having some extra time for some gentle self-care before and after the session may also be helpful as you prepare yourself for therapy.

    Lastly, consider reaching out to friends or loved ones for support, if you feel comfortable doing so. Having a strong support system can provide encouragement and reassurance as you begin your journey towards personal growth and healing.

  • What happens during the first session?

    The first session is the time where you can begin sharing your story and discussing your goals while laying the foundation for a strong therapeutic relationship.

    A skilled therapist will create a supportive environment where you feel comfortable expressing yourself authentically. They should ask insightful questions, actively listen, and show genuine empathy. Throughout the session, you should feel validated and respected, and trust that your therapist is genuinely invested in your well-being.

    As the session progresses, your therapist will collaborate with you to set achievable goals tailored to your specific needs. Together, you'll explore strategies and interventions aligned with your objectives, empowering you to take meaningful steps towards personal growth and positive change.

    Additionally, your therapist should provide practical guidance on self-care tools and address logistical aspects like session frequency, duration, and billing, ensuring you feel informed and supported in both emotional and practical aspects of your therapeutic journey.

  • How do I know if I found the right therapist?

    Discovering the right therapist is more than just finding someone who listens well; it's about establishing a genuine connection and feeling supported in your journey towards healing and growth.

    A great therapist is someone you trust completely, someone with whom you can share your deepest thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. They should create a safe and nurturing space where you feel heard, understood, and respected.

    A good “fit” allows you to express your needs openly, whether it's asking for more clarification, requesting a change in approach, or voicing disagreement. The “right” therapist should welcome these conversations and adapt their approach to best meet your needs.

    Therapy might get a bit uncomfortable when delving into tough thoughts and emotions, but you should always feel safe and cared for with your therapist.

    In a nutshell, trust your instincts – if something feels off or you're not getting what you need, bring it up. It could indicate a mismatch with your therapist, or it might spark a beneficial conversation that helps both of you move forward. You deserve to have exceptional therapy and that starts with a great relationship.
