During mental health therapy, you can expect a supportive and collaborative environment where you work with a trained therapist to address your concerns, develop coping strategies, and work towards your goals. Here's what you can generally expect during the process:

​

• Initial Assessment: At the beginning of therapy, you'll typically have an initial assessment session. This involves discussing your reasons for seeking therapy, your personal history, current challenges, and your goals for therapy. The therapist will gather information to tailor the treatment to your needs.

• Therapeutic Relationship: The therapeutic relationship is the foundation of therapy. You'll work with your therapist to build trust, rapport, and a safe space where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings.

• Goal Setting: Together with your therapist, you'll set specific goals for therapy. These goals will guide the focus of your sessions and help you track your progress.

• Discussion and Exploration: Sessions typically involve talking about your experiences, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Your therapist may ask questions to help you explore underlying issues and gain insight into your challenges.

• Coping Strategies: Your therapist will teach you coping skills and techniques to manage symptoms, reduce distress, and improve your overall well-being. These strategies can include mindfulness, relaxation techniques, cognitive restructuring, and more.

• Remember that therapy is a personal journey, and your experience may vary. Open communication with your therapist, a willingness to engage in the process, and a commitment to self-discovery and growth are key components of a successful therapeutic experience.
