Therapy is a deeply personal journey, and progress can look different for everyone. In our first few sessions, we’ll focus on building trust and safety, creating a space where you feel comfortable exploring your experiences. Together, we’ll clarify your goals, identify what you want from therapy, and develop a self-care plan to support your journey. This stage is about establishing a solid foundation for our work together.
As we move forward, we’ll dive deeper, exploring old patterns and uncovering new ways of being that bring more ease and alignment to your life. We’ll work through what’s been holding you back, guiding you toward meaningful change. Over time, you may begin to see more substantial changes, such as improved coping skills, a shift in perspective, or greater emotional resilience.
It’s important to check in regularly about your feelings on the process—if at any point you feel the therapy isn’t aligning with your needs, I encourage open discussion. Sometimes a different approach or focus is needed, and I’m always open to exploring that with you. The most important thing is that you feel heard, supported, and that the work feels relevant to your life. If something isn’t working, we can make adjustments, explore other avenues together, or I can provide referrals if needed.
The length of therapy varies depending on your unique needs, but I’m committed to your process for as long as you need. When you feel empowered and at peace with the changes, we’ll know it’s time to wrap up or take a break, knowing that the tools and insights we’ve worked on will continue to serve you long after our sessions.
How long does therapy typically take, and how often should I come?

The length of therapy depends on your personal goals and the nature of what you’re working through. Some people find relief and clarity after a few sessions, however most of Alex’s clients engage in longer-term therapy to work through deeper layers and focus on personal development. We’ll regularly assess your progress together to determine how you’re feeling about the process and whether we need to adjust the approach. Typically, therapy starts with weekly or bi-weekly sessions, but we can adapt this based on your needs and progress.
