Therapy FAQs:
What to Expect at Honest Hour
People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons — anxiety, grief, burnout, overwhelm, or just a sense that something isn’t working anymore.
You don’t need to hit a breaking point to reach out. If you’re feeling emotionally drained, stuck in a loop, or unsure how to move forward, therapy can help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and get the support you’re so used to giving everyone else.
Each of our therapists brings their own unique style, but we all share a few things in common: We’re honest, culturally grounded, feedback-forward, and not afraid to get into the real stuff.
We support adults navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, relationship stress, and burnout — especially first-gen, BIPOC, caregivers, and high-functioning professionals who often feel like they “should be fine.”
We use evidence-based practices like CBT, mindfulness, DBT, ACT, and narrative therapy — blended with your lived experience and personal values.
That’s up to you.
Some people come to work through a specific situation and feel ready to pause when they meet that goal. Others stay longer for deeper self-reflection, emotional growth, or consistent support through life changes.
We’ll check in along the way — you’re always in charge of your timeline.
No, but if it feels like medication might be helpful, we can refer you to a trusted psychiatrist or provider who can support that part of your care.
In the first few sessions, we’ll get to know you — what’s feeling heavy, what’s been on your mind, and what you’re hoping for from therapy. From there, your therapist will work with you to identify patterns, explore what’s going on under the surface, and co-create goals that actually fit your life.
Each session is 50–60 minutes and held virtually — so you can show up from wherever you are.
