The first 1–3 sessions are all about you: your story, your patterns, and what you want out of therapy. We’ll wrap up with intention-setting so we have a roadmap for your growth.

INVESTING IN YOUR MENTAL HEALTH

Starting therapy is a big commitment—emotionally and financially.

Therapy is an investment in your well-being, just like your education, career, or physical health.

It’s not just about solving problems—it’s about creating long-term growth, breaking unhealthy patterns, and building a life that aligns with who you truly are.

When you invest in therapy, you’re choosing:

  • Better relationships

  • Clearer boundaries

  • More mental clarity and emotional balance

  • A deeper connection to yourself

It’s one of the most powerful acts of self-care you can do.
