What it means to be a pluralistic Psychotherapist
When people first come to therapy, they often ask, “What kind of therapy do you do?” It’s a fair question given the many different therapeutic modalities and approaches.
As a pluralistic psychotherapist, I don’t follow just one approach. Instead, I draw from a range of evidence-based therapies to find what best supports you. Everyone is different and what helps one person might not help another, so I tailor the way we work to suit your individual needs, preferences, and goals.
Understanding different types of Therapy
Therapy is never one-size-fits-all. Different approaches help people in different ways depending on what you’re struggling with and how you like to explore things.
Here are a few common types explained simply…….
Why do I have to go to Therapy every week?
One of the most common questions people ask when they begin therapy is, “Why do I have to go every week?”
It’s a good question, and an important one. Therapy isn’t like a quick fix or a one-off chat. It’s more like learning a new language or strengthening a muscle. You need regular practice and consistency for it to take hold. Weekly sessions give the process space to breathe, deepen, and take root.
You don’t have to be in crisis to go to Therapy
Many people think therapy is only for when life completely unravels, when things feel unbearable or there’s a clear “problem” to fix. But therapy isn’t only about crisis. It’s also about growth, reflection, and understanding yourself more deeply.
