Questions you might have
Anything else? Ask us on your free call — there are no silly questions.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes. What you say in session stays private, with a few legal exceptions — such as a risk of serious harm — that your therapist will explain at the start.
How do I know if a therapist is a good fit?
That's what the free 15-minute call is for. And if it doesn't feel right after a few sessions, tell us — we'll help you find someone who fits better, here or elsewhere.
Can I do sessions online?
Yes. We offer secure video sessions for anyone located in Oregon at the time of the session.
How long does therapy take?
Some people come for a few months to work on one thing; others stay longer. You and your therapist will check in on progress regularly.
Do I need a diagnosis to start?
No. Many people come simply because things feel heavy. If you use insurance, your plan may require a diagnosis for billing, and we'll talk that through openly.
