  • We just require a consent form to be filled out before the start of sessions.

  • The first session is going to be a lot of information gathering where the therapist will ask you everything there is to know about to formulate a treatment plan collaborate on treatment goals. These questions range all the way from information about your family of  origin to information about what growing up was like for you and your coping skills so far.

  • We cannot give an answer to this as each client is incredibly different in how long they take to reach their goals and where they are in their healing journey. It takes at least 12 sessions for therapy to show its effect.

  • We see clients by appointment only with some therapists offering sessions starting at 9:00 AM and some others ending by 9:00 PM. We also have therapists offering weekend availability.

  • Sessions are typically 50 minutes long. There is also an option of booking extended 75 minute sessions with some therapists.

  • You will have homework if you want homework.

  • We recommend starting with more consistency that weekly sessions and then weaning down to biweekly eventually and then to monthly as you progress. Once again, it’s very subjective and depends on each person as each person is different in their needs.

  • We are human first therapists who believe in real holistic down-to-earth therapy! Just the way we see each client as unique, each therapist on our team is also unique with their own quirks.

  • Being a holistic therapist means looking at the whole person — not just your symptoms, but your story, your body, your relationships, your culture, and your emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Holistic therapy recognizes that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and it doesn't just happen in the mind.

    We explore how things like stress, trauma, past experiences, and even your nervous system or belief systems may be impacting how you feel. A holistic therapist works collaboratively with you, often drawing from multiple approaches (like talk therapy, EMDR, body-based work, mindfulness, or parts work) to support you as a whole — heart, mind, and body.

  • Everyone’s experience with trauma is different, and not all trauma leads to PTSD. But if you’re asking this question, something in you may already sense that something doesn’t feel right — and that matters.

    You might have trauma if you’ve experienced something overwhelming that left a lasting impact, even if it happened a long time ago or doesn’t seem “big enough” to count. Signs could include:

    • Feeling stuck in the past

    • Avoiding people or places

    • Being easily startled or on edge

    • Nightmares, flashbacks, or difficulty sleeping

    • Feeling numb, disconnected, or constantly overwhelmed

    PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is a more specific diagnosis, and a therapist can help you explore whether your symptoms meet that criteria — but you don’t need a diagnosis to get support. If your past experiences are affecting how you feel or function today, you deserve care and healing.
