Frequently Asked Questions

First off, congratulations on taking a significant step toward prioritizing your well-being! Counseling can feel intimidating, whether it's your first session or you've been attending for years. It involves entering a vulnerable space to discuss topics that may feel uncomfortable or unfamiliar. However, as your counselor, I will meet you where you are, and together, we will enhance your overall mental health. At AWE Therapy, we create a safe and supportive environment to help you navigate life's complexities with curiosity, courage, and self-compassion.

If you're wondering whether therapy is right for you, chances are, it could be. Life is full of transitions, challenges, and moments that leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of our next steps. Therapy isn’t just for crisis moments—it’s a space to gain clarity, build resilience, and create meaningful change in your life. Having a nonjudgmental, supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions can make all the difference. Therapy offers more than just a listening ear—it provides guidance, challenge, and tools to help you grow in ways that feel both empowering and sustainable. Finding the right therapist is key. If you think we might be a good fit, let’s start with a consultation call to explore how we would work together. At AWE Therapy, we are committed to helping you navigate life's complexities with empathy and authenticity.

This is a common question! You don't need to come prepared. During our first session, we'll do an intake, which involves getting to know you and understanding your concerns and goals. We'll gather relevant information about your background and discuss what brings you to counseling. This is also your opportunity to ask questions and start developing a plan. At AWE Therapy, we aim to create a welcoming and non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable sharing your story.

Sessions typically last 55 minutes. We'll determine the frequency together, considering your goals and availability.

Regular sessions help build a strong therapeutic relationship and provide consistent support as you work through your challenges.
