making an impact with therapy, advocacy & community.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do intro calls work and what happens after that step?
​
An introduction call is a space for us to get to know each other better and for the therapist to understand what you expect from them. We introduce ourselves, talk about therapy and what makes you want to start. The therapist will also explain their approach to you and resolve doubts. Then next step is for you decide how you'd like to move ahead. This could either mean starting therapy with them or trying to see if other therapists might work better. (We know that one therapist cannot be the right fit for everyone and we are always happy to refer you to other therapists so you can have the most comfortable mental health journey.)
How long will it take for me to get better?
​
Healing, especially when it comes to mental health, is very subjective. For some people, a few months is okay while for others it may take years. This depends on our experiences, our thought process, feelings and how we cope with concerns, all of which are very personal. Do bring this up in introduction calls if this is something that you'd like to know - your therapist will be able to give you a more definitive answer.
