Frequently Asked Questions

Can depression really be cured?

Depression doesn’t usually have a one-size-fits-all “cure,” but it can absolutely get better. Many people recover from depression and go on to live fulfilling lives with the help of therapy, lifestyle shifts, support systems, and sometimes medication. Counseling gives you tools to manage symptoms, explore root causes, and move toward healing in a sustainable way.

Will I ever stop having anxiety?

It’s natural to wonder if anxiety will ever go away completely. The truth is, everyone experiences some level of anxiety—it’s part of being human. The good news is, therapy can help you reduce overwhelming symptoms, understand your triggers, and feel more in control. With the right tools and support, anxiety doesn’t have to rule your life.

Does feeling overwhelmed make me a bad parent?

Feeling frustrated, guilty, or uncertain does not mean you’re a bad parent—it means you’re human. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs in the world, and every parent struggles at times. Therapy can help you sort through those feelings, discover your strengths, and find strategies that help you feel more confident and connected with your child.

How can I improve communication with my child?

It’s common for parents to wonder, “Why won’t my child talk to me?” Kids may find it hard to share feelings, while parents worry about saying the wrong thing. Therapy can help you learn age-appropriate communication tools—like active listening, open-ended questions, and empathy—that make your child feel safe and understood. Over time, these practices build trust and strengthen your relationship.

How do I improve communication with my partner?

Communication is a skill, and like any skill, it can be learned. If you and your partner feel stuck in patterns of conflict or silence, counseling can help. You’ll practice expressing needs clearly, listening with empathy, and creating healthier conversations that bring you closer together.

Can a marriage survive cheating?

Infidelity is painful, but many couples do rebuild and even grow stronger with the right support. In counseling, couples learn to communicate openly, repair broken trust, and decide how to move forward together. Healing is possible if both partners are committed to growth and honesty.
