Question 1

What does a first individual therapy session look like?

Accepted Answer

You might worry about not knowing what to say in a first session, and you do not need a script. A therapist can guide the conversation, ask about your history, and explain how they work. Ask what a typical session looks like with them. In Alma's Lafayette directory, read profiles of therapists who offer individual therapy before you choose.

Question 2

Can I go to therapy without a clear reason?

Accepted Answer

Not having a name for what you feel can make you hesitate. A therapist can help you sort out what is going on and what you want from sessions, without needing a diagnosis first. Ask how they work with someone who is still figuring it out. On Alma, read profiles of therapists in Lafayette who offer individual therapy.

Question 3

How long does individual therapy usually take?

Accepted Answer

Wondering how long this will take is often about cost and how much of your life it will absorb. It varies with what you are working on and what you want from it. Therapy can cover a defined stretch around one situation or continue longer. Ask how a clinician thinks about length and how they would know it is working before you start. On Alma, browse therapists in Lafayette.

Question 4

Can I go to therapy every other week?

Accepted Answer

You can ask about a schedule that fits your life before you book. You can ask whether they suggest weekly sessions at first and spacing them out later, and what they would recommend for you.
