Question 3

What types of therapy are available?

Question 4

Do you have EMDR therapists for trauma and PTSD treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, several of our therapists are trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which is highly effective for treating trauma and PTSD. Research indicates EMDR can reduce PTSD symptoms in 77-90% of single-trauma victims within just 3-6 sessions. The American Psychological Association recognizes EMDR as an effective treatment for trauma. In-person EMDR therapy is often preferred as it allows for the full therapeutic experience with proper bilateral stimulation.

Question 8

What should I expect at my first therapy appointment?

Accepted Answer

Your first session is typically an intake appointment where you'll discuss your background, current concerns, and therapy goals. It's a chance for you and your therapist to get to know each other and determine if it's a good fit. Sessions typically last 50-60 minutes and take place in a private, comfortable office. Research shows that most people begin to feel better within 6-12 sessions, though this varies based on individual circumstances and goals.

Question 9

Is in-person therapy better than online therapy for anxiety and depression?

Accepted Answer

Research comparing in-person and online therapy shows both can be effective, but many people find in-person therapy more impactful for anxiety and depression. A 2021 study found that in-person therapy had a 20% higher completion rate than online therapy. Face-to-face sessions offer deeper human connection, non-verbal communication cues (which account for up to 55% of communication), and a dedicated space away from home distractions. Therapy Space locations provide calm, professional environments focused entirely on your healing.
