How does therapy work?

Therapy is a confidential and professional relationship between a trained clinician and you. It differs from relationships with friends or mentors in that we don’t give advice or tell you what to do, but we hold space for you to notice patterns and opportunities for growth. Through guided conversations, activities & observation you may learn things about yourself and exercise new skills.
