Because each person has different issues and goals for therapy, what therapy will be like depends on YOU.

In general, you can expect to discuss the current events happening in your life, your personal history relevant to your issue, and report progress (or any new insights gained) from previous therapy sessions.

Depending on your specific needs, therapy can be short-term, for a specific issue, or longer-term, to deal with more difficult patterns or your desire for more personal development.

Either way, it is most common to schedule regular sessions with your therapist (usually weekly).

It’s important to understand that you’ll get more and better results from therapy if you actively participate in the process.

The ultimate purpose of therapy is to help you take what you learn in session back into your life.

Therefore, beyond the work you do in your actual session, I may suggest some additional things you can do outside to support and enhance your process.

These activities may include but are not limited to reading a pertinent book, journaling on specific topics, noting particular behaviors, or taking action on your goals.

People seeking psychotherapy are ready to make positive changes in their lives, are open to new perspectives, and take responsibility for their lives.

Many benefits are available from participating in therapy. I can provide support, problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, unresolved childhood issues, grief, stress management, and creative blocks. I can also offer you a fresh perspective on a difficult problem or point you in the direction of a solution.

Many people also find that therapy can be a tremendous asset to managing personal growth, interpersonal relationships, family concerns, marriage issues, and the hassles of daily life.

The benefits you obtain from therapy depend on how well you use the process and put into practice what you learn. First, you can attain a better understanding of yourself, your goals, and values – and put that newfound self-awareness into practice in several ways:

You can change old behavior patterns and replace them with new, more effective ones so you can better manage your emotions – anger, grief, depression, and other pressures like stress and anxiety.

Once you’ve established greater self-regulation, you can develop skills for improving your relationships, such as your ability to communicate effectively (both speaking and listening) and your creativity in solving problems within your marriage or family.

You’ll also experience improved self-esteem and self-confidence and, ultimately, find a resolution to the issues or concerns that led you to seek therapy.

Everyone goes through challenging situations in life. While you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you’ve faced, there’s nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it.

In fact, therapy is for people who have enough self-awareness to realize they need a helping hand, and that’s something to be admired.

You’re taking responsibility by accepting where you are in life – and making a commitment to change the situation by seeking therapy. Therapy provides long-lasting benefits and support by giving you the tools you need to avoid triggers, re-direct damaging patterns, and overcome any challenges you face.

You may be going through a major life transition (unemployment, divorce, new job, etc.) or are not handling stressful circumstances well.

Or you might need assistance managing a range of other issues such as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, spiritual conflicts, and creative blocks. Therapy can help provide some much-needed help and encouragement and help with skills to get you through these periods.

Or, perhaps you’re ready to learn more about yourself – or you want to be more effective w your goals in life.

In short, people seeking psychotherapy are ready to meet the challenges in their lives and make changes.
