Is therapy right for me?
Balancing stress and happiness is a natural part of living, but if you feel the scales are tipping too far in an undesirable direction, therapy can help find balance.

The duration of therapy is unique to each client(s) that we work with. This can depend on several presenting issues that bring you in.

Finding the right therapist for your needs may seem difficult or confusing, and it ultimately depends on finding a good fit for your therapeutic goals. Many clients find it helpful to start their search with reliable online databases like Psychology Today or Portland Health Clinic. Others find it helpful to get recommendations from trusted friends or family members. Start by identifying the issues you would like help with and then narrow down your search to therapists who are specialized in treating those concerns. We try to make it as simple as possible by offering free consultation calls for new clients. This is a time for us to connect directly, ask any questions you may have, and decide if Positive Inner Self is the right fit for you!
