What to expect in therapy

Therapy is a safe and private space for you, where you won’t be judged. During your first appointment, the therapist will talk about confidentiality and its limits. You can also choose whether you want a parent or caregiver to be involved in that discussion.

Sessions usually last about 50 minutes. Your therapist will help you figure out what you need and what you hope to achieve.  You will have choice in the sessions and the therapist will explain the different methods to help you think about, express, and explore your feelings and the challenges you're facing .
