Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need help?
If you suspect that you may be facing emotional difficulties or struggling with mental health, support is readily available. Our team of licensed mental health professionals will conduct an assessment and help determine the most appropriate level of care for your needs. They will gather comprehensive information about your concerns, as well as your current physical, psychological, and emotional well-being.
Does MM&W offer in-person or telehealth sessions?
Our clinicians provide a blend of in-person and telehealth sessions to cater to your needs.
For your convenience, we offer telehealth sessions conducted via a user-friendly and secure platform that adheres to HIPAA compliance standards.
I’ve never talked to anyone. Does seeking therapy mean that someone is weak?
Absolutely not. Individuals who seek assistance are well aware of when they require it and display great courage in reaching out. We all require support at various points in our lives. During our collaboration, I will assist you in delving into and recognizing your personal strengths, and guide you on how to harness them effectively to diminish the impact of the challenges you are currently encountering.
What’s the difference between talking to you or my best friend or family?
The difference lies in the abilities of someone who simply has the capability to perform a task versus someone who has the necessary training and experience to carry out that same task professionally. When you engage with a mental health professional, you can expect a fresh approach to your circumstances. They can provide you with new skills, offer diverse perspectives, listen to you without judgment or preconceived notions, and help you learn to listen to yourself. Additionally, counseling sessions are completely confidential, relieving any concerns about others becoming aware of personal matters. Finally, if you find yourself confiding in a friend or family member during a challenging period and experiencing intense negative emotions, there is a risk that once you start feeling better, you might naturally distance yourself from that person to avoid being reminded of the difficult time you went through.
