What types of therapy modalities are used at Kinnect Psychology?

• We believe that healing doesn't always happen through words alone. That’s why we offer art therapy, sand tray, play therapy, and walking/nature therapy alongside talk therapy. Our therapist draws from modalities like play therapy, Person-Centered (Rogerian), EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness to create a custom experience for each client.

What should I expect in the first session?

• Prior to your first session, you fill out some paperwork that provides background information for your therapist

• During the first session, you will be getting to know your therapist better

• At Kinnect Psychology, the first session can be very flexible: some folks prefer the therapist to lead with quesitons and other folks prefer to elaborate on the reasons they are seeking therapy.  

• This is also the perfect time to ask your therapist any questions you have about their background, experience, or expertise.  

I'm not sure if I'm ready to start therapy?  

• At Kinnect Psychology, we often find that people are surprised by how much they have been carrying once they begin therapy.

• You may be ready to start therapy if you notice yourself reacting in ways that feel out of alignment with who you want to be.

• Feeling more overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, emotionally drained, or “not quite yourself” more often than before can be a sign that support would be helpful.

• Frequent crying or feeling emotionally close to the surface may be your mind and body’s way of asking for care.

• If you find yourself relying heavily on self-help books, podcasts, yoga classes, or repeated conversations with friends—but still not feeling better—therapy may offer deeper, more lasting support.

• Stress that begins to show up in the body (such as unexplained physical symptoms your provider has linked to stress) can also be an important signal to slow down and seek support.

• If people who care about you have expressed concern, it may be a meaningful moment to consider reaching out for therapy.

How do I know therapy will actually help me?

• At Kinnect Psychology, we know there are many factors that contribute to a meaningful and successful therapy experience. Many people begin to notice positive change when a few key pieces are in place.

• Therapy is most likely to feel helpful when you are able to attend sessions with some consistency, allowing space for trust, reflection, and progress to build over time.

• It can also be helpful to notice, reflect on, or gently journal about experiences between sessions—especially moments that feel emotionally charged, confusing, or uncomfortable. These often become important starting points for deeper understanding and change.

• A sense of motivation for change is one of the strongest predictors of progress in therapy. You do not need to know how to change—only a willingness or desire for things to feel different is enough to begin. Curiosity about yourself and your patterns is often where growth starts.

• Most importantly, therapy offers something many people don’t regularly experience: a consistent, supportive space to slow down, reflect, and feel understood by someone outside of your personal relationships. This kind of space can create meaningful clarity, insight, and lasting change over time.

• If you are considering therapy, you do not need to feel “ready in the perfect way”—simply being open to support and willing to begin is often enough to get started.

How can I expect to feel as a result of attending individual therapy?

• A greater sense of alignment with yourself, with less second-guessing or questioning your everyday choices

• More emotional peace, with increased moments of contentment, calm, and joy

• A deeper sense of not being alone, along with feeling supported, understood, and encouraged

• More clarity around where to direct your time and energy—toward people, habits, and experiences that feel fulfilling, and away from what feels draining
