Frequently asked questions
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, facing emotional difficulties like anger, depression, or anxiety, or witnessing a significant change in your daily behavior, counseling can help you find a solution to these issues. Even if you’re confused about whether you need counseling, you must consider speaking to an experienced counselor.
Typically, each counseling session lasts for about 50 to 60 minutes. However, the length of each session may vary depending on the type of counseling, your commitment and unique needs.
The number of counseling sessions depends on your personal circumstances and individual goals. If you’re seeking counseling for a short-term issue, just a few sessions may be helpful. However, addressing deep-rooted issues requires long-term commitment. Our therapists will determine the exact timeline that can help you achieve your goals.
Medication can be effective in managing symptoms, but it alone cannot help you achieve the desired results. Counseling delves deeper by helping you understand the root cause of your problems and develop coping skills to overcome your emotional struggles.
