★★★★★
“The first therapist who got me.”
I tried therapy twice before and gave up. The free matching call paired me with Dr. Cole, and for the first time I had tools, not just a place to vent. My anxiety is finally manageable.

★★★★★
“We talk again.”
We came in barely speaking. Twelve sessions later, we have a way to disagree without hurting each other. I did not think that was possible.

★★★★★
“Clear, calm and never rushed.”
Dr. Reid explained my diagnosis and every option, including the ones without medication. I left feeling like a partner in my own care.

Questions
Starting therapy, demystified.
It is normal to have questions — here are the ones we hear most.
Need help now?
You are not alone.
If you are in crisis, please don’t wait for an appointment. Trained counselors answer day and night.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If something is weighing on you — your mood, your relationships, your sleep, your work — that is reason enough. The free 15-minute call is a good way to find out, with no commitment.
Is everything I say confidential?
Yes. What you share stays between you and your clinician, protected by law. The rare exceptions — such as an immediate risk to your safety — are explained in your first session.
Do online sessions work as well as in person?
For most concerns, research shows video therapy is just as effective. Many clients mix both depending on their week.
How long does therapy take?
Some people feel better after six to eight sessions; others prefer longer-term support. You and your clinician review progress together regularly.
Do you prescribe medication?
Our psychiatrists can assess whether medication may help and manage it with you, always alongside therapy rather than instead of it.
