Frequently Asked Questions
Therapy provides a safe and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It can help you develop coping mechanisms, improve relationships, address mental health concerns, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself. Therapy can be beneficial for a wide range of issues, from everyday stressors to more complex mental health conditions.
If you're struggling with difficult emotions, experiencing changes in your mood or behavior, having trouble in your relationships, or simply feel overwhelmed, therapy might be helpful. Even if you're not sure, a consultation with a therapist can help you determine if it's the right fit for you.
Your first session, often called an intake session, is typically focused on gathering information. Your therapist will ask about your history, current concerns, and goals for therapy. This is also a time for you to ask questions and get to know your therapist.
Yes, confidentiality is a crucial aspect of therapy. Therapists are legally and ethically bound to protect your privacy. There are some legal exceptions to confidentiality, such as if you pose a threat to yourself or others, or in cases of suspected child abuse. Your therapist will discuss these limits with you during your initial session.
Finding the right therapist is essential for successful therapy. Consider factors such as the therapist's specialization, experience, and therapeutic approach. It's often helpful to schedule a brief consultation with a few different therapists to see who you feel most comfortable with.
Christian counseling integrates faith and psychology. It acknowledges the importance of spiritual beliefs and values in the healing process. Josh approaches therapy from a biblical perspective, helping you explore your challenges within the context of your faith.
Perinatal and postpartum counseling addresses the unique emotional and psychological challenges that can arise during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. This can include issues like postpartum depression and anxiety, adjustment to parenthood, birth trauma, and relationship changes.
It's common to experience a range of emotions during this time. However, if you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or struggling to cope, it's important to seek support. Don't hesitate to reach out to Rebecca, even if you're unsure if your feelings are "normal."
Some common signs include persistent sadness, anxiety, irritability, changes in sleep or appetite, difficulty bonding with your baby, feelings of guilt or shame, and thoughts of harming yourself or your baby. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, please seek professional help immediately. You can obtain immediate support by calling the PSI Helpline at 1-800-944-4773 or you can text "Help" to that same number.
