Frequently Asked Questions

Therapy helps you objectively look at behaviors, feelings and thoughts in situations you find problematic in your life. Together you and your doctor will identify goals, discuss what results you can expect, how you will know when you are making progress, and the length of time it may take for you to see changes.

Although many times psychotherapy alone will bring the desired results, in some cases medication may be recommended. Your doctor will address your concerns associated with medication options. Then together you may make the decision to see a psychiatrist for an evaluation and medication management in line with your goals.
