FAQ

  • What can I expect in my first session?

    Your first session is a clinical intake session. During this time, your therapist will ask more direct questions regarding your family, childhood, work, lifestyle, relationship, medical history, mental health history, and any other relevant information. It’s possible that we won’t get to everything in this first session, but we will at least get a solid foundation to inform future sessions. If you are feeling nervous, don’t worry, that’s common but your therapist is there to help you feel safe and calm.

    This isn’t uncommon or anything to worry about. You are in the drivers seat but your therapist can help guide the conversation if there isn’t anything topical for you. Each therapy session has a way of finding it’s own flow.

  • What are the benefits of therapy?

    There are many but most commonly clients find that it is supportive of their mental health to have someone to listen and sort through all the things going on in their heads. Therapists provide a safe space to air it all out and try to make sense of it, while helping draw connections and highlight areas of growth. Many of us have experiened a version of betrayal trauma, and being able to develop a trusting relationship with their therapist is a fundamental aspect of healing.

  • Who do you primarily work with?

    At Beyond Therapy Co. we work mostly with girls and women aged 12+ who have experienced childhood trauma including but not limited to betrayal trauma, sexual abuse, family struggles and loss. In addition, we work with individuals struggling with anxiety and/or depression, burnout, stress, life transitions, and grief. More specifically, our expertise lies in the space where our clients haven’t fully processed something(s) traumatic and have become disconnected from themselves and their bodies. The therapeutic relationship is of primary importance in the healing journey, and because of this we don’t focus solely on the concern that our clients come to us with to determine whether we work together. Rather, we are deeply committed to ensuring our clients are comfortable with us, and that there is a great potential to develop a working alliance.
