The length of therapy varies by individual, but many clients begin to notice shifts within a few sessions. Some come for focused short-term work (10–15 sessions), while others prefer deeper, ongoing support.
Yes! Many of our therapists offer early morning, evening, and weekend appointments to accommodate busy schedules. We understand that life doesn't always fit into a 9–5 window, so we do our best to provide flexible options that work for you. When you reach out, let us know your availability, and we’ll match you with a therapist who can meet at a time that fits your life.
Sessions are typically 50+ minutes, though we don’t strictly cut things off when the clock hits the hour. The length and frequency can vary based on the type of service and your unique needs. In most cases, we recommend weekly sessions at the start to build consistency and trust. Over time, sessions may become biweekly or less frequent as progress is made. While there is some flexibility, scheduling decisions are made in collaboration with your therapist based on clinical judgment and availability.
If you or a loved one are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or disconnected—whether in work, relationships, or everyday life—therapy can help. Our therapists work with individuals, couples, teens, and families to create clarity, calm, and meaningful change.
We make it easy. Based on your needs, goals, and preferences, we’ll match you with a therapist on our team who is the best fit. We offer a free consultation to ensure that connection from the start.
Getting started is simple. You can reach out through our contact form or give us a call to schedule your first consultation. We’ll help match you with a therapist who aligns with your goals, preferences, and areas of concern. If you’re not sure what kind of support you need, we’ll walk you through your options and help you feel confident about your next step.
To prepare for your first therapy session, consider what you want to achieve, any specific issues you want to address, and any questions you have for your therapist. It's also helpful to arrive with an open mind and a willingness to engage in the process.
Your first session is a safe, welcoming space for you to share what brought you to therapy. We’ll talk about your goals, challenges, and any questions you have. Often, there’s some basic “getting to know you” work—like intake questionnaires or questions to understand your life and background better. But you’re always in control. If any questions feel too personal or invasive, you can choose to talk about what feels comfortable first. Your therapist will explain how everything works and together you’ll create a plan that fits your needs. There’s no pressure—this is your time to start building the foundation for meaningful change.
Therapy is a personal journey, and progress can look different for everyone. You might notice small changes at first—like feeling a bit lighter, sleeping better, or understanding your emotions more clearly. Over time, many clients experience improved relationships, greater confidence, and better coping skills. Your therapist will regularly check in with you to see how you’re feeling about the process and adjust your plan as needed. If you ever feel stuck or unsure, talking openly with your therapist helps ensure therapy stays helpful and on track.
Absolutely. Finding the right therapist is essential to your healing journey, and we want you to feel comfortable and supported. If you ever feel that your current therapist isn’t the best match for you, just let us know. We’ll work with you to find someone on our team whose approach and style better fit your needs—no judgment, no hassle.

That’s more common than you might think — and it doesn’t mean therapy can’t work for you. Like any meaningful relationship, the connection with your therapist plays a huge role in how effective the process is. Sometimes, the fit isn’t right, the timing wasn’t ideal, or the approach didn’t align with what you needed.
At Healthridge, we’re deeply intentional about matching you with a therapist who’s not only well-trained, but also aligned with your goals, values, and communication style. We take time to understand what didn’t work in the past, and use that to guide what could work now.
Many of our clients come to us after a disappointing therapy experience — and find that with the right connection and approach, things start to shift.
Let’s talk about what you need and what hasn’t worked before. You deserve therapy that actually helps.
Friends, clergy, and spiritual mentors can offer incredible emotional support, wisdom, and guidance — especially when they know you personally and care deeply about your well-being. They may provide comfort through shared values, life experience, or spiritual teachings.
But therapy is a different kind of support. A therapist is a trained professional who offers an unbiased, confidential space — one that’s focused entirely on you, without expectations or personal involvement. Therapists are equipped with evidence-based tools to help you understand patterns, heal from past experiences, and make lasting changes in how you think, feel, and relate to others.
At Healthridge, many of our clients value their relationships with rabbis, imams, priests, pastors, and spiritual teachers — and we honor that. Therapy doesn’t replace those connections. It complements them by giving you a structured, safe, and skillful space to go deeper, at your own pace.
Think of therapy as a personal training session for your emotional and mental well-being — one that can enhance all the other support systems in your life.
Yes, individual therapy can still make a meaningful difference in your relationship — even if your partner isn’t ready or willing to participate.
At Healthridge, we often work with individuals who feel stuck, disconnected, or frustrated in their relationships. Through therapy, you can gain clarity, learn healthier communication patterns, set boundaries, explore your needs, and better understand your role in the dynamic. When one person shifts, the entire system can begin to change.
In some cases, through your own therapeutic work, your partner may become more open to joining the process. Your therapist can help you find thoughtful ways to invite them in, without pressure or blame. Even if they never participate directly, the work you do on your own can still spark meaningful change.
“Mind-body” therapy means we recognize that your thoughts, emotions, and physical body are deeply connected — and that healing often happens when we work with all of them together.
At Healthridge, this might look like helping you notice how stress or trauma shows up in your body (like tension, fatigue, or gut issues), and then using tools like breathwork, mindfulness, or body awareness alongside talk therapy. You don’t have to do yoga or be “into” alternative practices — this is about reconnecting to yourself in a grounded, supportive way that fits your comfort level.
Many clients find that when the body is included, they gain deeper insight, experience faster breakthroughs, and feel more whole — not just mentally, but emotionally and physically too.
Yes, it can be. Therapy often brings up emotions, memories, or patterns that have been buried or avoided — and facing them can feel uncomfortable at first. Think of it like cleaning a messy closet: things might look more chaotic before they start to feel clear and manageable.
The important thing is you're not doing it alone. Your therapist will support you through this process with care, pacing, and tools to help you feel grounded as you work through deeper layers. Often, that temporary discomfort is a sign that meaningful healing is happening.
We do both — but not in a generic “tell me how that makes you feel” kind of way.
At Healthridge, our therapists are active collaborators. While compassionate listening is important, we also bring structure, insight, and practical tools to help you move forward. That might include coping strategies, communication skills, boundary-setting techniques, or deeper mindset shifts.
And therapy isn’t always just talking — it can be experiential. Depending on your goals and your therapist’s approach, you might engage in mindfulness work, somatic awareness, guided visualizations, role-play, or other hands-on methods that help you process and grow in more than one dimension.
We aim for you to feel supported and empowered — not just heard, but equipped.
Feeling anxious about starting therapy is normal. It can help to remind yourself that seeking help is a positive step towards well-being. You can also discuss your concerns with your therapist, who can provide reassurance and help you feel more comfortable.
