Starting therapy may come with several questions. Perhaps you are wondering which service is best for you or how you should go about choosing a therapist and starting your first session.
Some of the most common questions asked by prospective clients who consider therapy with Resilience Therapy in Hawaii have been answered below. If you have any additional questions, our team will be happy to answer them.
Therapy is not only for those who have experienced a serious crisis in their lives. You can consider seeking support if you are facing problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, changes in your life, personal development, and other concerns. If you are having a problem in your life or would like some professional help to overcome it, you might want to try therapy.
Choosing a therapist is a highly individual process. You can visit our provider page to learn more about qualifications, clinical background, specializations, and treatment methods of our providers. If you are not sure which therapist to pick, you can reach out to our clinic and discuss your needs.
Not at all. You do not have to diagnose yourself or make a choice regarding the therapy method before coming to us. Our providers will talk to you and decide which method would suit you best.
Sometimes finding the right therapeutic relationship takes time. If you feel that you should be seeing someone else, you can talk to our staff about it.
We provide services for a variety of concerns that could include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, stress, burnout, relationship and family issues, life transitions, self-esteem, emotion regulation, or other personal or mental health concerns.

In your first session, you have a chance to discuss what brings you to therapy, what your experiences have been like, and what your hopes and expectations are from therapy.
The length of sessions may vary depending on the kind of services and therapist. You can find out the length of your session before booking the appointment.
People go to therapy sessions at varying frequencies. This depends on your needs, goals, and circumstances.
This varies. There is no set limit on the number of appointments needed. Some people want to address an issue and will be in short-term therapy, while others may prefer longer-term care. You can discuss your needs and preferences with your therapist.
You don’t need to come up with anything to talk about beforehand. Your therapist will help facilitate the discussion and can assist in finding a path to discover your thoughts.
While therapy aims to be a private and respectful discussion place, there are restrictions on confidentiality, and it is subject to many factors. The limits to confidentiality will be discussed with you when you meet with your provider.
Online therapy means that your sessions will take place via the telehealth platform, which is designed to provide you with privacy and a safe and comfortable environment for your therapy.
You will likely require access to a computer, tablet, or smartphone with a camera and microphone, internet, and privacy at your location.

Couple teletherapy sessions may be available, but this depends on the individual therapist, type of session, and circumstance. Contact the clinic to learn if couple teletherapy sessions would be appropriate for you.
Some family therapy treatments can be provided through telehealth sessions. Whether it is appropriate depends on the circumstances, so discuss this with the clinic when making arrangements for therapy.
Firstly, check out each provider’s profile. Learn about their education, years of experience, specialties, types of therapies, and types of clients they are used to working with.
Sure. If there is a certain provider you want to work with, you are welcome to ask about the possibility of scheduling appointments with them.
Resilience Therapy Hawaii is a group practice that consists of providers with different credentials, educational backgrounds, and clinical experience.
It depends. Your treatment will mostly take place with one appropriate provider, but you can discuss switching to another provider if necessary.
There is nothing wrong with not being sure about which treatment is right. Begin by discussing what you are going through, not the therapy.
Of course. Contacting us doesn’t automatically commit you to therapy. You can inquire about providers, services, and the process so you know what to expect.
Multiple concerns often coexist. For example, anxiety could be related to a problematic relationship, stress could be affecting your family dynamics, or significant changes in your life could affect your emotional well-being. Your therapist will consider the whole situation instead of isolating one issue.
First, look through our providers and services and then reach out to Resilience Therapy Hawaii to discuss your needs and available options. There’s no need to have everything sorted out before taking the first step.
