A:If I start therapy, will I need to go forever?

This is a common question for those who consider seeking help for common behavioral health challenges like depression, anxiety and addiction. It's intimidating to start something new when you struggle with a mood disorder and even more daunting to think of opening up about deeply personal things to a person you don't know. Add on top of that the fear that once you start there's no end in sight and it's enough to turn you off the process altogether.

It is impossible to say exactly how long a person will need to engage in behavioral health services as every situation is unique and every person's needs are different. Here at PBHS, we understand that the relationships we build with our patients are one of the most meaningful and important relationships of a lifetime. We also understand that collaboration is meant to be only as long as needed to achieve the goal of helping you create a life worth living. With that in mind, we create a treatment plan with you that is customized to your personal goals and objectives and we discuss just how long it may take to get you where you want to go.

If you believe you would benefit from behavioral health services, please reach out to me. Together we will talk and design a treatment plan that meets your behavioral health needs and gets you back to the business of living your life in the most effective, and the quickest way possible.
