Common Concerns & Misconceptions

"Shouldn’t I be able to handle this on my own?"
Many people feel this way, but stress is part of being human. Therapy offers expert guidance, tools, and support to help you move forward—you're not alone.

"What if therapy doesn’t work for me?"
Therapy is a collaborative process. Our therapists tailor sessions to fit your unique needs and adjust strategies as you go to ensure it works for you.

"I’ve been stressed for years. Can therapy still help?"
Absolutely. Whether your stress is recent or long-standing, therapy can help you manage it, reduce symptoms, and improve your overall well-being.

"Why am I always stressed?"
Chronic stress can stem from life transitions, unresolved trauma, pressure to perform, or a lack of boundaries. A therapist can help you uncover the root causes.

"Is life stress different from work stress?"
Work stress is just one type of stress. Life stress can come from relationships, caregiving, finances, identity shifts, or even unspoken emotional burdens. Therapy addresses all of it.

"Can I manage stress without medication?"
Yes. Therapy focuses on coping strategies, emotional regulation, and mindset shifts. Many clients find relief without medication, though we can also support those using both approaches.

"Can therapy help with imposter syndrome or low confidence?"
Yes! Therapy can help challenge self-doubt, reduce perfectionism, and build confidence, especially if stress is tied to your sense of identity or self-worth
