Frequently Asked Questions
Why do people go to therapy?
People seek therapy for various reasons, such as managing mental health issues like anxiety, depression, or trauma. Therapy provides a safe space for individuals to explore and understand their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors with the guidance of a trained professional. It offers tools and coping mechanisms to navigate life’s challenges more effectively. Additionally, therapy can aid in improving communication skills, enhancing relationships, and fostering personal growth and self-awareness. Ultimately, therapy serves as a supportive resource for individuals striving for mental and emotional well-being.
What happens in a therapy session?
In a therapy session, a person may first discuss their current concerns or issues with the therapist. The therapist typically listens attentively, providing empathy and understanding while asking clarifying questions to gain deeper insight. Together, they may explore underlying emotions, thoughts, and patterns of behavior contributing to the person’s difficulties. The therapist may introduce coping strategies, techniques, or exercises tailored to the individual’s needs and goals. Throughout the session, there’s an emphasis on creating a nonjudgmental and supportive environment conducive to personal exploration and growth.
What types of therapy do you offer?
We offer individual, couples, kids, family, and group therapy in person at both our Chico and Sacramento locations, and virtually throughout California. Our clinicians bring diverse skills and training to meet your needs, including trauma-focused therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, PCIT, somatic therapy, IFS, perinatal-focused therapy, and other modalities.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Yes, therapy sessions are confidential. Confidentiality is a fundamental aspect of therapy, ensuring that what is discussed remains private between the client and therapist. We adhere strictly to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requirements, which set standards for the protection of sensitive patient information. This means that information shared in therapy cannot be disclosed to anyone without the client’s explicit consent, except in specific circumstances outlined by HIPAA, such as situations involving imminent harm to the client or others. Maintaining confidentiality fosters trust and allows clients to feel safe and comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings during therapy sessions.
Do you provide virtual sessions?
