Expert Answers to Your Wellness Questions

  • Overcoming the Hurdle of Your First Session

    Deciding to begin your wellness journey is a significant first step. We'll guide you on what to expect, how to prepare, and how to easy any anxieties you may have about your initial visit.

  • Building a Strong Therapeutic Alliance

    The connection you have with your "provider" is a key predictor of success. Learn about the importance of this relationship and what to look for in a "mental health provider" to ensure a good fit.

How do I find the right provider for me?

Finding the right mental health provider is a personal process centred on connection and trust. Look for a professional with credentials who specializes in the areas you need support with (e.g, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, women's health). Most importantly, seek someone you feel comfortable and safe with. The initial consultation is a great opportunity to ask questions and see if their approach is a good fit for you.

Is what I share in treatment confidential?

Yes. Confidentiality is a foundational element of treatment. Everything you discuss with your provider is legally and ethically protected. The only exceptions are specific situations where a provider is required by law to disclose information, such as immediate risk of serious harm to yourself or others, or cases of child abuse. These limits to confidentiality will be clearly explained in your first session.

What is the difference between various types of therapy and treatment?

While all therapies and treatments aim to improve well-being, different approaches use different methods. The best approach depends entirely on your individual needs and goals, which you will explore with your provider.

How long does treatment take, and how will I know it's working?

The duration of your wellness journey is lifelong and will vary from person to person. Some people achieve their goals in a few months, while others benefit from longer-term support. You will know your treatment plan is working when you start to see positive changes. This might mean feeling a sense of relief, developing new coping skills, or noticing a reduction in the symptoms that brought you to treatment. It's an active process, and progress should be discussed regularly with your provider.
