Generally, if you feel that you need to work out some of your thoughts and feelings, you are in the right place! People do not have to be in distress all the time to go to therapy. Sometimes, people just want guidance in moving forward or to leave a place of stagnation. Others have deeper challenges they want to explore and work through. There's no pressure to address everything at once; it truly is up to you and what you are comfortable with.

If you would like to continue with therapy, I will send you paperwork to fill out (intake form, consent, privacy). The first session will be to go over paperwork and answer any questions you may have. I will tell you a little bit about me and what I offer. After that, we can talk about whatever you'd like! The space is yours to express how you feel about the process, what you want to work on, or anything that you want to share about yourself. Don't worry, I'll make sure we are not sitting in silence awkwardly.

Each session is slated for an hour. It's up to you how long you want to attend the session, I would suggest you take full advantage of the time, even if it is uncomfortable.
People generally attend therapy for as long as it's needed to achieve their goals (which will be a topic discussed after a few sessions). Sometimes people need it for years, sometimes for a few months. It depends on you and how you feel about the progress you make. I can give input and, generally, you have full autonomy in the process.
