How Therapy Can Help You

Therapy can be beneficial in a wide variety of ways. How much you can benefit from therapy depends on many factors, including how well you make use of the process and implement what you learn. Therapy can be hard work; we at WCT Behavioral Health & Medication Management have the utmost respect for the courage and willingness of those people we serve.

Our Therapy Is Tailored To Each Client

We understand there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy.

Our therapists address the most important area of your struggle FIRST before moving on to the underlying reasons that may not be apparent to the client. Therefore, we tailor our approach to our client’s needs and not the reverse. This is especially true in the beginning until the main concerns are reduced.

"I remember when I was looking for help during my struggle with anxiety disorder, it seemed as if no one understood anxiety symptoms well. Talking to me about imagery and deep breathing, seemed pointless to me. At that time, my symptoms were my biggest problem, not my behavior (because I thought my behavior was normal). It was not until I met with a therapist who had a better understanding of anxiety symptoms and why they could last a long time, that I found therapy helpful. Once I found the answers to my symptoms, I could more successfully focus and move on to the offending behaviors as I identified them."

We Meet Our Clients Wherever They Are On their Journey

We understand that pushing a client to change does little more than increase their unwillingness. Evidence suggests that working with, rather than against, clients’ resistance is optimal. The key is to involve clients at their own pace (unless medically ill-advised) to formulate their own plan of action for treatment. Change is far more likely to occur when clients muster their own (intrinsic) motivation and perceive the decision to change as their own. This is where we use motivational interviewing.

We Hold "Space" For Our Clients

That means that we are willing to walk alongside each of our client(s) in whatever journey they’re on without judging them, making them feel inadequate, trying to fix them, or trying to impact the outcome. When we hold space for other people, we open our hearts, offer unconditional support, and let go of judgement and control.

To truly support our clients in their own growth, transformation, grief, etc., we can’t do it by taking their power away (ie. trying to fix their problems), shaming them (ie. implying that they should know more than they do), or overwhelming them (ie. giving them more information than they’re ready for). We have to be prepared to step to the side so that they can make their own choices, offer them unconditional support, give gentle guidance when it’s needed, and make them feel safe even when they make mistakes.

"I Can Really Open Up"

I have been in therapy since 2014, and this is the first therapist I’ve had that really helps me. I can really open up, and even on the days I don’t want therapy (when I most need it) I’m able to convince myself to go because of how helpful I know my therapist is and how understanding she is. Definitely recommend!

"Helped Me Feel Okay"

After years of trying to get the help I needed elsewhere these people have helped me feel okay for the first time in a long time. She’s funny, down to earth, and all around someone I feel like I can come to who will understand how I feel. Amazing, I’m going to keep coming here.
