Mental Health Resources & FAQ’s

If you find yourself spinning your wheels and not being able to make or sustain changes in life to reach your full potential, talking with someone else may help. Many seek therapy even if they aren’t experiencing significant distress but because they hope to improve their quality of life. At Theratele, we work with you on addressing main concerns and integrating other aspects of your life such as taking a look at your nutrition, movement, and thought patterns to see how you can take control of your life and make a transition to a healthier you.

Finding a therapist that you feel you can connect with is the first step. At Theratele, we offer a free 10-minute consultation to determine whether we would be a good fit. From there, we work on establishing a routine of how often to meet (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, as needed) and get to work! Throughout our sessions, we will talk about why you are seeking therapy at this time and explore both past behaviors and events as well as how you are currently living your life. We will explore strategies that you can implement outside of session for processing emotions and pinpoint goals you would like to achieve in our time together. Our goal at Theratele is making sure that you ultimately feel equipped to successfully continue to improve your life long after our time together has ended.

At Theratele, we think it is important that you get the opportunity to ask questions you may have regarding the therapy process before committing to working with us. During this time, we will briefly discuss what led you to seek out counseling and what goals you are hoping to achieve in our time together. From there, we can determine if we would be a good fit.

We have two options for sessions. We offer both 30 minute and 45 minute options to suit your needs. We often suggest that new clients start out on a weekly basis and eventually taper off to bi-weekly, monthly, or on an “as needed” basis for sessions.

At Theratele, we use cognitive behavioral therapy while maintaining a client centered approach. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based goal-oriented approach that helps identify and implement strategies to alter maladaptive thought patterns that affect our emotions and consequently, our behavior. CBT implements several different strategies such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral experimentation, role playing, guided meditation, and journaling to track progress and behavior over time. We also believe that sleep, nutrition, and movement are crucial to our mental health and will explore your patterns with respect to these fundamental needs and identify changes that you may be able to make to help improve your mood and overall well-being.
