FAQ
What to Expect
Does seeing a psychotherapist mean I'm crazy?
No, a lot of times people have a stigma that if they are seeing a psychotherapist or a psychiatrist they are crazy. That is not true, sometimes we need someone to guide our thoughts and address something they haven't on their own.
Do I have to talk about everything that has happened in my life?
It is up to you. Nothing in therapy is forced, and you are doing this because you want to explore and process what is going on. We might explore some of the past but it is up to you.
Will I feel uncomfortable?
There will be times that you might explore situations that trigger some negative feelings. But this is your time, and we will make sure the setting is cozy and comfortable for you, and provide much support for you to thrive.
Did You Know...
- Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older, or 18% of the population. (Source: National Institute of Mental Health)
- Anxiety disorders are highly treatable, yet only about one-third of those suffering receive treatment.
- Anxiety disorders cost the U.S. more than $42 billion a year, almost one-third of the country's $148 billion total mental health bill, according to "The Economic Burden of Anxiety Disorders," a study commissioned by ADAA (The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 60(7), July 1999).
- More than $22.84 billion of those costs are associated with the repeated use of health care services; people with anxiety disorders seek relief for symptoms that mimic physical illnesses.
- People with an anxiety disorder are three to five times more likely to go to the doctor and six times more likely to be hospitalized for psychiatric disorders than those who do not suffer from anxiety disorders.
- Anxiety disorders develop from a complex set of risk factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, personality, and life events.
