When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns about therapy or feel unsure about what to talk about.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine?
Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what therapy entails.

You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback and advice from a therapist. A Winfall licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives.

A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing.

If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information.
