Therapy Mistakes

 


If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy, I know it can feel like a big decision.

My role is to help make that process a little easier, and that starts with being honest about a few common mistakes I see people make before they begin.

✨ 1. Expecting quick results
Therapy isn’t a one-session fix. It’s a process that unfolds over time, as you build trust with your therapist and start applying what you learn outside of session.

✨ 2. Settling for a therapist who isn’t the right fit
You deserve to feel comfortable, seen, and supported. If the first therapist you meet doesn’t feel like a match, it’s completely okay to try someone new.

✨ 3. Overlooking what you want from therapy
It’s okay not to have it all figured out, but reflecting on what you hope to gain can help guide your sessions and ensure your needs are being met along the way.

✨ 4. Not planning for the financial commitment
Therapy is an investment in your wellbeing, but it doesn’t have to feel out of reach. Many therapists (including ours) offer associate clinicians, sliding scales, and flexible scheduling options to make therapy more sustainable.

If you’ve been wondering whether you’re ready for therapy, I’d love to help you explore your options and find the right fit for you. 💬

LGBT Therapy in Richmond

LGBT Pride Month, observed in June, is celebrated around the U.S. with parades and activism events. At the same time, many people do not know Pride Month’s origin, which honors the 1969 Stonewall riots — a demonstration which blazed the trail for activists across the country. In 1970, the first Gay Pride marches took place in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. There has been a lot of progress since then, but LGBT advocates are still working toward a future without discrimination in the workplace and beyond. Here are some powerful quotes from changemakers who are have contributed to the movement for LGBT equality: “Openness may not completely disarm prejudice, but it’s a good place to start.” — Jason Collins, first openly gay athlete in U.S. pro sports “When all Americans are treated as equal, no matter who they are or whom they love, we are all more free.” — Barack Obama If you need support, contact us today for therapy in   Berkeley and Richmond www.lifebyde...
