Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about getting started and receiving care.
What is therapy?
Therapy is an opportunity to discuss issues that are important to the client while having a trained, objective person help work through the current situation and similar situations in the future. Therapy can focus on one specific concern or several concerns. It is a collaborative process that requires an active role from both the client and the therapist for change to occur.
What are the letters behind a therapist’s name?
The letters behind a therapist's name describe their education, training, and license. Examples of education credentials include MA or MS for a master's degree and PhD, PsyD, or EdD for a doctoral degree.
License credentials can include LPCC, LCSW, LMHC, and LAMFT. Credential meanings and supervision requirements vary by license and state, so you are welcome to ask your therapist about their specific training and qualifications.
Why is therapy beneficial?
People seek therapy for many reasons, including managing mental health concerns, navigating life transitions, developing coping skills, working through past trauma, and learning to manage day-to-day stressors. Some people seek support after a recent event, while others want help with concerns they have carried for years. Counseling can help clients gain a greater sense of control and develop tools for making decisions and creating meaningful change.
What does therapy look like?
Individual therapy brings a client and therapist together to address concerns and work toward treatment goals established collaboratively.
Couples or relational therapy can include two people, such as romantic partners, adult siblings, or business partners, who want to increase understanding, reduce conflict, improve communication, and develop safe, healthy relational patterns.
How long does therapy last?
Therapy sessions are typically 50 to 55 minutes. Clients often attend weekly or every other week, depending on their needs. The overall length of therapy depends on each client's circumstances, goals, and progress. The therapist and client will determine that together.
What is the difference between seeing a counselor, a psychologist, and a psychiatrist?
Mental health therapists and counselors primarily provide talk therapy. They typically hold a master's degree and complete continuing education to maintain their credentials. Psychologists may provide counseling and can also offer psychological testing for schools, courts, and other settings. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who commonly focus on medication evaluation and management.
Medication and talk therapy may be used together when appropriate. If your therapist believes a medication evaluation could be helpful, they can provide a referral to a qualified medical professional. Medication does not replace talk therapy, and treatment decisions should be made with the appropriate licensed providers.
What does the first session look like?
The initial session includes an assessment of the client's history, current concerns, and treatment needs. The client can learn how therapy will work, review office policies, discuss privacy and confidentiality, and decide whether they feel comfortable with the therapist.
It is important to have a positive working relationship with your therapist. It may take two or three meetings to determine whether the relationship feels like a good fit. If another provider may be better suited to the client, the therapist can offer referrals to specialists or trusted colleagues.
