Does therapy actually work?
How do I find the right therapist for me?
Therapy is all about connection. If your therapist is the right fit, you should feel supported, safe, and challenged in order to promote growth and change. It’s crucial you listen to your instincts and feel heard and understood by the therapist you choose. We offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to explore if Banyan Counseling Collective is the right fit for you.
What can I expect from my first session?
Your first session will be dedicated to getting to know you and determining if your therapist is the right fit for your needs. We believe in transparency and your initial session is an opportunity to get to know one another and find out the best path forward to support your needs. Use this introductory appointment to get to know your therapist’s personality, therapeutic style, and overall vibe.
What can I expect from therapy?
While each session can vary, you can expect to have the opportunity to share your thoughts, feelings, and concerns openly and honestly with a trained professional who will listen attentively, offer insights or questions, and help you process your experiences. Together, you may identify specific goals, learn and practice healthy coping mechanisms, and develop tools and skills to improve your overall well-being.
How often should I see my therapist?
The length and frequency of sessions depends on your specific treatment plan. Following your initial intake, your therapist will determine which of our modalities best suit your needs and will help you create a schedule to help you achieve your mental health goals.
Do you provide teletherapy or video sessions?
Yes! We offer teletherapy through a HIPAA compliant platform. If video sessions work better for you, let us know!
