Therapy is right for anyone who is interested in getting the most out of their life by taking responsibility, creating greater self-awareness, and working towards change in their lives. Working with a therapist can help provide insight, support, and new strategies for all types of life challenges. Therapy can help address many types of issues including depression, anxiety, conflict, grief, stress management, body-image issues, and general life transitions. 
 

Telehealth is just like an in-person session with a therapist,  provided via video conferencing. There are many benefits to having sessions using telehealth. It can be easier and more efficient for you to access mental health care. There may be more flexibility to schedule a time convenient for you. You can talk to a therapist without physically coming to an office.

Every therapist has their own style but generally you can expect a listening ear and for your therapist to ask questions.  Sessions are recommended weekly or bi-weekly and typically last for 50-60 minutes.  Therapy should be person centered meaning you get to collaborate with your therapist on goals and prioritize what you’d like to work on first.  Most therapists assign some form of practice or a writing activity to maximize progress in between sessions.
