Start Here: Where to Begin
Whether you’re considering therapy or looking for a self-paced way to understand yourself better, this page is here to help you orient — without pressure to decide everything at once.
People arrive here with different needs, capacities, and goals. The paths below aren’t rigid categories, but guideposts to help you notice what feels most supportive right now.
Find the Path That Fits
Read through the descriptions below and notice which one feels closest to where you are. You don’t need to choose perfectly.
You Might Start With Therapy If…
You’re feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or emotionally stuck and want support in real time. You’re looking for a space where you don’t have to explain or defend yourself. You want help processing anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, burnout, or identity shifts. You’re seeking support as you integrate new understanding into daily life.
Therapy offers individualized support and a steady space to work through what’s coming up now.
You Might Start With Courses If…
You want understanding without appointments or time pressure. You’re processing a late diagnosis and need space to integrate it. You feel burned out and want a lower-demand entry point. You prefer learning privately and at your own pace. You want language and context before deciding on therapy or assessment.
Courses offer autonomy, flexibility, and a gentle way to begin understanding yourself.
Still Unsure? That’s Okay.
People begin this work in different ways.
Some start with therapy. Others begin with self-paced learning.
Many move between the two over time.
There’s no hierarchy and no “correct” order — only what fits your current capacity, needs, and access.
Getting in Touch
If you’d like support deciding where to begin, there are two simple ways to connect.
Option 1: Schedule a Consultation
You can schedule a free 15-minute consultation to talk briefly about what’s bringing you here and what kind of support might feel most helpful right now.
There’s no obligation to move forward — this is simply a chance to see whether this feels like a good fit.
Option 2: Send a Message
If you’d prefer to ask a question or want more information before scheduling, you’re welcome to send a secure message. You want language and context before deciding whether therapy is part of the picture.

What Happens Next
If therapy feels like a good fit, you’ll receive a secure link to complete intake forms at your own pace and access the client portal for scheduling and messaging.
If learning resources feel like the right starting point, you can explore courses immediately — no intake and no appointments required.
A Gentle Reminder
You don’t need to have everything figured out to take the next step. Reaching this page already reflects curiosity, self-awareness, and care for yourself.
Whether you choose therapy, independent learning, or simply a conversation, this can be the bridge between wondering and understanding.
And that understanding can change everything.
