What is general therapy?

Therapy is a supportive and collaborative process that helps individuals navigate life’s challenges, build emotional resilience, and improve overall mental well-being. It provides a safe and confidential space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences with a trained professional who offers guidance, tools, and strategies tailored to their unique needs. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, or personal growth, therapy empowers individuals to gain clarity, develop coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about how to manage certain emotions or situations, therapy may provide support and tools to navigate these challenges. You don’t have to be in crisis to seek therapy—many people use it as a proactive way to improve their well-being and resilience.

How do I find the right therapist for me?

Finding the right therapist involves considering factors like their specialty, therapeutic approach, personality, and how comfortable you feel with them. Start by thinking about what you want from therapy—are you looking for support with anxiety, trauma, relationships, or another specific issue? We invite you to view our diverse therapist team here (https://www.atmacena.com/general-therapy-services/), and book a free consultation with someone who resonates with you and your needs.

Confidentiality: Is therapy private, and who has access to my information?

Yes, therapy is confidential, meaning what you share stays between you and your therapist. However, there are a few legal exceptions: if you express intent to harm yourself or someone else, report abuse of a child, elderly person, or vulnerable adult, or if your records are subpoenaed by a court. Otherwise, your therapist cannot share your information without your explicit consent, including with your employer, family, or insurance provider (unless insurance is being used for billing).

How much does therapy cost, and does insurance cover it?The cost of therapy varies depending on the therapist’s qualifications, location, and whether they accept insurance.
