What Kind of Support Do You Need?

Therapy can be many things—practical, spiritual, emotional, directive, gentle, fierce.

But what kind of support do you need most?

Here are a few forms of support that therapy can offer:

✨ Advice & Guidance

- You want a clearer path or direction

- You appreciate tools, frameworks, or insights

- You’re looking for help sorting through options or next steps

- You want your therapist to weigh in—not just reflect back

🌿 Safety & Comfort

- You want a calm, grounding presence

- You need space to process without pressure or fixing

- You’re seeking warmth, trust, and emotional refuge

- You want to feel held, not pushed

🔍 Honesty & Transparency

- You want a therapist who will be real with you

- You appreciate being gently called out or challenged

- You’re curious about your patterns—and ready to name them

- You don’t want sugar-coating; you want truth

💛 Empathy & Compassion

- You want to feel deeply understood

- You’re craving emotional resonance, not just analysis

- You’re not looking for quick fixes—you want someone to be with you in it

- You value presence more than performance

🔥 Encouragement & Empowerment

- You want someone who believes in your potential

- You’re ready to be stretched and supported

- You’re looking for accountability as much as affirmation

- You want to feel energized, not just safe

So, what kind of support do you need?

It might shift over time. It might be a mix.
