FAQs | Mind Space Mental Wellness Boise

Is it normal to need therapy if I’ve always handled things on my own?

Not at all. People who ask for help know when they need it and have the courage to reach out. Everyone needs help now and then. In our work together, I’ll help you explore and identify your strengths and how to implement them to reduce the influence of the problems you are facing.

What happens during a therapy session?

Each session is personalized to your unique goals and what’s happening in your life. Our time together might include conversation, skill-building, and body-based awareness practices that support nervous system regulation. I’ll guide you through reflection, emotional processing, and practical tools you can use between sessions to feel more balanced and supported.

What is mind-body or somatic therapy?

Mind-body (or somatic) therapy is an approach that helps you reconnect with your body’s natural responses and cues. By combining awareness, movement, and breath-based practices, you can release stress stored in the body and feel more balanced and present in everyday life.

Can holistic therapy support me if I’m already taking medication?

Medication can help stabilize symptoms, but it doesn’t always address the underlying causes of stress, anxiety, or trauma. Therapy complements medication by helping you understand your emotional responses, release stored tension in the body, and strengthen your coping strategies. Together, we can explore what’s been keeping you stuck and create a sustainable plan for well-being.

How can I get the most out of therapy?

Your commitment and openness make a big difference.
Reflecting between sessions, practicing coping skills, and showing up honestly — even on hard days — all help the process unfold more naturally. Think of therapy as a collaboration; I’ll bring tools and insight, and you’ll bring your lived experience and willingness to grow.
