Common Concerns & Misconceptions

“I’ve never been in a relationship—is therapy still for me?”
Absolutely. Therapy is a great space to explore your experiences, build confidence, and prepare for healthy relationships—even if you’ve never had one before.

“I keep getting ghosted or rejected—am I doing something wrong?”
Not necessarily. Dating can be discouraging, but therapy can help you process these experiences, improve your self-esteem, and stay grounded in your worth.

“Is it weird to be in therapy just for dating?”
Not at all. Dating can be emotionally complex, and getting support shows strength and self-awareness. Many people benefit from therapy focused solely on relationships.

“What if I’m not looking for a relationship right now?”
Therapy isn’t just about being in a relationship. It’s about helping you feel fulfilled, connected, and intentional—whether you’re single, dating, or taking a break.

“I always fall for emotionally unavailable people—can that change?”
Yes. Therapy can help you understand what’s drawing you to these dynamics, address unmet emotional needs, and create healthier relationship patterns.
