Common Questions People Ask About Therapy in Albuquerque
Thinking about therapy but not sure where to start? These common questions can help you feel more confident about taking the next step.
What kind of therapist is best for mental health?
It depends on what you’re looking for. Licensed therapists, counselors, and social workers can all provide support for concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. At Sandia Therapy and Wellness Center in Albuquerque, we offer several options so you can find the type of care that best fits your goals.
Who is the best person to see for mental health?
A licensed mental health therapist or counselor is often the best place to begin. Our therapists in Albuquerque are trained to help you work through challenges, build coping skills, and find healthier ways to manage daily stress.
When should you see a mental health therapist?
You don’t have to wait for a crisis to see a therapist. Many people reach out when they feel overwhelmed, anxious, sad, or stuck in a cycle they can’t break. Therapy can help you process those feelings and take steps toward balance and wellness.
Do I need counseling or therapy?
Counseling and therapy are often used interchangeably, and both can help you navigate stress, grief, trauma, or other challenges. At Sandia Therapy and Wellness Center in Albuquerque, we provide both short-term counseling and ongoing therapy to meet your needs.
How to find a therapist covered by insurance?
The first step is to call your insurance provider or check their website for in-network therapists. You can also reach out to Sandia Therapy and Wellness Center in Albuquerque. We’ll help you review your coverage and guide you through the process of getting started.
Is it better to have a psychologist or a therapist?
Both psychologists and therapists can help with mental health, but they often serve different roles. Therapists focus on talk therapy and support, while psychologists may also do testing or specialized assessments. For most people, starting with a licensed therapist is the right step for support and guidance.
How do I choose the right therapist?
The most important factor is finding a therapist who makes you feel safe and supported. At Sandia Therapy and Wellness Center in Albuquerque, our counselors use different approaches to help you feel comfortable and confident as you begin your therapy journey.
Can I do therapy online in Albuquerque?
Yes, online therapy is available and can be just as effective as in-person sessions. At Sandia Therapy and Wellness Center in Albuquerque, we provide secure telehealth counseling so you can get support from the comfort of your home.
How long does therapy usually take?
The length of therapy depends on your goals and the challenges you’re working through. Some people benefit from short-term counseling, while others continue therapy for ongoing support. Your therapist will help you create a plan that fits your needs.
What should I expect in my first therapy session?
Your first session is a chance to get to know your therapist and share what brings you to counseling. You’ll talk about your goals, ask questions, and begin building a plan for support. There’s no pressure — it’s about starting where you are.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes, therapy is confidential. Licensed therapists follow strict guidelines to protect your privacy. At Sandia Therapy and Wellness Center in Albuquerque, your sessions are a safe space where you can talk openly without judgment.
