You can ask anything that helps you feel safe and informed. Some helpful questions may include:

• What is your approach to therapy?

• Have you worked with this type of issue before?

• How do you view immigration stress, systemic oppression, or cultural identity in therapy?

• What does a typical session look like?

• How long do clients usually work with you?

The consultation is not an interview where you need the “right” questions. It’s about sensing whether you feel comfortable, understood, and respected. Therapy works best when you feel safe and connected with your therapist.

Feeling nervous about starting therapy is completely normal and to be expected, this is an emotional step.

Many people seeking online therapy in North Carolina feel anxious about opening up to someone new. Especially if you were raised in a family or culture where therapy wasn’t common.

You don’t need to be fully ready. You just need to be curious enough to take one small step.

We can move slowly and at the pace that feels best for you and your body. Our role is to support you during your healing process and your body has the capacity to heal itself, and your system knows what it needs.

Absolutely not, we all feel burnout and exhausted at some point in our lives by the news, oppression, capitalism, and everything that happens in life.

Seeking therapy does not mean you are “crazy.” It means you are human.

Getting support is a sign of awareness and strength, not weakness.

No, therapy is not only for severe mental illness. It is for anyone who wants support, clarity, healing, connection and/or growth.

Many clients I work with in North Carolina are:

• High achieving professionals and immigrants

• Parents

• Caregivers

• College students

• Business owners

They may look “fine” on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, or burned out inside.

Therapy can be preventative, restorative, and transformative — not just crisis-based.

The Holistic Living Co. is currently a private pay practice. Upon request, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

If you’re unsure how out-of-network benefits work, I’m happy to walk you through it during your consultation.

There is no fixed timeline and it is completely up to you.

Some clients seek short-term therapy for a specific issue (8–12 sessions). Others engage in longer-term trauma therapy or generational healing work.

Healing is not linear. We will regularly check in about your goals and adjust as needed.

You are the expert on your own life, experiences, history, and goals. During our sessions, you guide your process, topic, and emotions. Our role is to support you. We provide:

• A nonjudgmental space

• Nervous system regulation tools

• Exploration of patterns and history

• Space for emotions to show up

We move at your pace.

No, therapy is confidential.

There may be times when I need to consult with other mental healthcare providers; such as, a supervising therapist or a psychiatrist to make sure that I am providing you with the best care possible. In those incidents, no identifying information will be shared.

Your identifying information will not be shared without your written permission, except in rare legal or safety situations required by North Carolina law (such as risk of harm to yourself or others).
