At The Well, our clinical practice is guided by these values and beliefs:
My mind is a bad neighbourhood I try not to go into alone.
ANNE LAMONT
People seek out the support of a therapist for different reasons: feeling overwhelmed, experiencing strong emotions, or just plain stuck in a pattern. Whether it’s single-session, or ongoing while working toward a long-term goal, psychotherapy can support you to make a shift, allowing new possibilities to surface. Even if you’re not sure what your goals for therapy are, dedicated and focused time with a therapist, who is there solely to support you, can help you find some clarity. Fruitful therapy is an investment of time, commitment, and effort.
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
MAYA ANGELOU
Research shows that a successful fit, or “click”, between a client and therapist is the first key to a productive therapeutic dynamic. Deciding whether it is a good fit often takes a few sessions to figure out. This is just a regular part of the process of learning what works best for you. If at any point you or the therapist feels that the therapeutic relationship isn’t productive, the sessions can be wrapped up and you will be offered support to connect with a different therapist.
