Frequently Asked Questions
Thanks for visiting A Different Box of Crayons LLC!! Being here means you are ready, considering, or want to try therapy. We hope that this page can answer any questions you may have about the therapy process.
What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is a way to help people with a broad variety of mental illnesses and emotional difficulties. Psychotherapy can help eliminate or control troubling symptoms so a person can function better and can increase well-being and healing.
​
Problems helped by psychotherapy include difficulties in coping with daily life; the impact of trauma, medical illness or loss, like the death of a loved one; and specific mental disorders, like depression or anxiety. (adapted from psychiatry.org)
What does the Therapeutic Process Look Like?
The therapeutic process looks different for everyone. At A Different Box of Crayons LLC, your process will start with a 15 minute consultation. During that time, you and your therapist will determine if you are a good fit for one another. After your intake appointment is scheduled, you and your therapist will discuss in session reasons for seeking treatment, goals and other topics that can help you in your mental health journey. Your therapist will be happy to walk you through this process and will continue to provide space for you as you navigate your mental wellness.
How long does therapy take?
There is no specific time frame when working on personal development and growth. Depending on the type of changes that you are looking to make or the variety of issues that you are attempting to work on, therapy can last from a few sessions or much longer.
Remember, healing has no time frame. Some find therapy to be extremely beneficial and choose to make it a long-term process. Ultimately, you and your therapist can gauge a more accurate time frame once you have started to see progress.
