Frequently Asked Questions
Educational answers about psychotherapy, treatment approaches, and finding clinics.
How do I choose between in-person and virtual therapy?
Both formats can be effective for many people. The choice may depend on treatment needs, personal preference, privacy, technology access, location, and provider availability.
How does therapy work alongside TMS or ketamine treatment?
Psychotherapy may be used alongside other treatments when clinically appropriate. TMS and ketamine/esketamine are distinct treatments, and whether they are combined with therapy depends on the person’s symptoms, treatment history, medical situation, and clinicians involved.
How many sessions will I need before seeing progress?
There is no single number that applies to everyone. Treatment length varies by therapy approach, symptoms, goals, response to treatment, and individual circumstances.
What if I don’t feel a strong connection with my therapist?
A comfortable working relationship can be important. Discuss concerns with the therapist, and if the fit remains unsuitable, ask the clinic about another clinician or approach.
