What to Expect in a Therapy Session

All therapy is delivered online through a secure and confidential platform, making support accessible wherever you are.

Sessions begin with a brief check-in, followed by a focused conversation about what’s most relevant for you. Together with your therapist, you’ll explore the thoughts, emotions, and patterns connected to the challenges you’re navigating, with an emphasis on practical progress toward your goals.

If you’re moving through a key entrepreneurial milestone—such as raising capital, launching a product, building a team, or navigating a merger or acquisition—your therapist will explore the context of these experiences so they can better understand the pressures and decisions you’re facing.

Toward the end of the session, you’ll summarize key insights and identify next steps or strategies to work on between sessions. Sessions typically conclude with scheduling and any final questions.

Your First Session

Your first session is an opportunity to share what’s bringing you to therapy and begin outlining what you’d like support with. You can expect:

• A confidential, goal-oriented space to address challenges and leverage your strengths

• A supportive environment to strengthen your mental health while navigating the pressures of building and running a business

• Practical tools and insights to build resilience, self-awareness, and capacity as you move forward in your entrepreneurial journey
  

Absolutely! All of our therapists are registered mental health professionals with different designations. If you would like to use your insurance to cover the cost of a session, we encourage you to read the fine print of your policy to ensure your therapist’s credentials are covered.

At this time, we don’t offer direct billing. After making payment following your session, you’ll receive a receipt with your therapist’s credentials on it that you can submit to your insurance provider.

All therapists are licensed with their applicable licensing board after successfully completing the necessary education, exams, training, and practice. This means that when you talk to a licensed therapist online or in-person, they are subject to the mandated reporting and confidentiality requirements.

Generally, the therapist will keep what you tell them confidential, but there are limited exceptions. For example, if you threaten grave harm to yourself or to an identifiable victim the therapist is required to report this information to relevant authorities. Before starting therapy, please discuss with your therapist their legal obligations to confidentiality if you have any concerns or questions.

Coaching helps individuals achieve specific goals, enhance performance, and develop skills through a structured, forward-looking process. It involves setting objectives, creating action plans, and providing support and accountability to foster personal and professional growth.

Counseling, on the other hand, often delves into past experiences to understand and resolve underlying problems. It aims to provide therapeutic support, helping individuals cope with challenges, improve mental health, and achieve emotional well-being.
