Young Adult Focused Therapy Services

Studies have shown that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for most issues. It allows you to communicate with a licensed therapist from the comfort of your own home, providing an opportunity for those who may not otherwise be able to access therapy due to location, transportation, or physical mobility issues.

Confidentiality in online therapy works much the same way as in traditional therapy. Therapists are bound by professional standards and laws to maintain your privacy and confidentiality. All communication is securely encrypted, and therapists will not share your information without your explicit consent, unless there's a concern for your safety or the safety of others.

The cost of online therapy varies depending on the platform and the therapist. Some platforms have a flat weekly or monthly rate, which might range from $60 to $120 per week. Others charge per session, with rates typically ranging from $60 to $200 per session. Many platforms, including TalkWise, offer financial assistance or sliding scale options based on need.

Just like in traditional therapy, the relationship with your therapist is crucial. If you feel that you are not building a productive relationship with your therapist, most platforms, including TalkWise, allow you to switch therapists. The goal is for you to feel comfortable and understood, so don't hesitate to request a new match if necessary.

In your first session, your therapist will likely ask you about your background, current challenges, and goals for therapy. It's a chance for you both to get to know each other and establish a comfortable rapport.

The length of therapy varies based on individual needs and goals. Some people find short-term sessions (6-12 weeks) helpful, while others engage in longer-term therapy. Your therapist will work with you to determine the best approach.

 If you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with emotional issues, or facing challenges that you find hard to cope with alone, therapy can be beneficial. It’s also a proactive way to work on personal growth and self-understanding.

A therapist provides support through counselling. A psychologist has specialized training in psychological testing and therapy. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can prescribe medication and provide therapy.

Frequency can vary; some people go weekly, while others may go bi-weekly or monthly. This depends on your needs, goals, and schedule.

Yes, therapy can provide significant benefits, from better coping strategies and emotional relief to improved relationships and self-esteem. It's a space to explore your thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment.

It’s normal to feel nervous about starting therapy. Remember, taking the first step is a sign of strength. Therapists are skilled at helping you ease into the process and are there to support you, not judge.
