Starting Therapy as an Adult: Your Questions Answered
At B.Well Counseling & Consulting, we understand that seeking therapy as an adult can feel both empowering and overwhelming. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, postpartum transitions, relationship challenges, or simply needing space to process life’s demands, our goal is to meet you with compassion, professionalism, and individualized care. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions we receive about adult therapy services at our Aiken, SC, practice.
How often should I come to therapy?
In most cases, adults begin therapy on a weekly basis. This consistency helps build a strong therapeutic relationship and allows for steady progress. As you begin to meet your goals, we may transition to biweekly sessions or adjust our approach based on your needs. Our approach is collaborative; your therapist will work with you to find a rhythm that supports both your schedule and your healing.
How long are therapy sessions?
Standard therapy sessions are 50 minutes long. This gives us enough time to explore your concerns, process emotions, and build practical coping strategies without rushing through the important work.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
Therapy is a powerful space for growth, healing, and support. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or want to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, therapy can be a valuable resource. We provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where your experiences are validated and your goals are honored. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy; many adults come to explore personal development or improve relationships.
What can I expect during my first session?
Your first session is focused on getting to know you, including your history, concerns, and what you hope to achieve. We’ll discuss confidentiality, your rights as a client, and answer any questions you may have. Consider this the start of a supportive partnership.
How do I schedule a session?
Getting started is simple. Visit our Contact page to inquire about availability or explore our Established Clients page if you’re already an existing client. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
