For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

I would tell anyone who is hesitant that feeling unsure about therapy is completely normal. Seeking help does not mean something is wrong with you. It means you are ready to care for yourself and your healing. Therapy is a safe space to be seen, heard, and understood without judgment. You do not need to have all the answers or know exactly what to say. Even small steps, like showing up, can start a ripple of change in your life. Healing is possible, and you do not have to do it alone.

Hi, I’m Nina. I help adults overcome trauma, religious trauma, and complex relationship wounds using EMDR therapy. I provide a warm, compassionate, and relational approach to healing so you can reconnect with yourself, feel grounded, and move forward with confidence.

Even considering therapy is courageous, and half the battle! Thank you for being here and for trying to find ways to support yourself. If you have an hesitations or anxieties around therapy, please let me know. I want you to know that therapy is a relationship and a two-way street, and I will do everything I can to help you feel in control throughout this process. Some accommodations I offer are a free 15 minute consultation call, which can be done by phone or on video, as well as a "ramp up" to hour-long therapy sessions by starting with shorter, 30 minute sessions. If there is anything I can do to help ease your anxiety or make this process smoother for you, please let me know! I cannot help you if I don't know what you need, so all I ask is you be communicative with me (in whatever form that feels comfortable to you - verbal, email, text, voice memo, etc.)!

You’ve tried everything you can, and still… You struggle to manage your emotions, and you don’t understand why your mood seems to go from 0 to 100 at the drop of a hat. Because you feel so deeply, things that seem harmless to other people cause you immense pain, panic, and distress. You feel hopeless about the future and sometimes hurt yourself in the process of trying to manage it all. You are in the right place. At Spring Day Therapy, I work with teens & young adults to provide compassionate, collaborative (and oftentimes playful!) evidence-based treatment.

I hear you! Therapy takes guts. You are essentially considering bringing your concerns to someone you don't know, but hope that they can help somehow. Maybe you don't believe you can be helped, but something has to change because what is happening now is not working for you. Going to therapy is similar to taking a leap of faith, but for your own well-being. While I cannot guarantee any outcomes from therapy and I certainly never aspire to be the perfect fit for everyone, I can assure you that you will be heard, respected, and supported in creating meaningful change in your life.

Hello! I work with adults ready to address old patterns or new changes that are becoming challenging to live with. This might be anxiety, lower mood, loss, or life transitions, such as pregnancy, parenting, separations, career shifts, or simply wanting to focus on your own wellbeing.

Starting therapy can bring a wide variety emotions, but I want you to know that therapy is all about you! And who knows you better than you?! Mental health care belongs to everyone and we all deserve a space to grow, face the hard stuff, and celebrate our wins.

I’d remind anyone who’s hesitant that therapy isn’t about being “broken” or having all the answers—it’s about having a safe space to be heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Healing isn't a destination we arrive at but a journey we take through life. Therapy is a partnership—you don’t have to go through life’s challenges alone, and you set the pace. Even if you’re unsure, just showing up is a powerful act of courage, and it can open the door to healing, growth, and new possibilities.

Hi, I’m LaTranette Long, LMHC-QS, LPC. I’m passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore challenges, build resilience, and move toward lasting growth.

Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, or deeper emotional wounds, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy and guidance.

I would tell them that therapy isn’t about being "broken", it’s about finally having someone in your corner who is solely dedicated to your healing. For so many, the hesitation comes from the fear of opening a door they’ve kept locked for years. But you don't have to walk through that door alone. Therapy is the one place where you don't have to perform, apologize for your feelings, or "have it all together." It is a profound act of self-love to decide that your peace of mind is worth the effort.

It can be so difficult to find the right therapist and it can sometimes make you hesitant to contact potential therapists. I wish that more people knew that it is okay to do consultations with potential therapists and ask them about how they work. So much of therapy success depends on the therapeutic alliance between client and therapist so it is okay to interview therapists to make sure that you have a good vibe and will be able to be successful with them.

I believe therapy is an adventure of self-discovery—an opportunity to explore your story and uncover your strengths. My approach is collaborative and adaptive, drawing from CBT, ACT, DBT, SFBT, and Person-Centered Therapy, as well as Geek Therapy and the Hero’s Journey framework when it fits your interests. Whether you connect through fandoms like anime, video games, or tabletop RPGs, or prefer a more traditional approach, I meet you where you are. Together, we’ll navigate your challenges, build insight, and move toward a renewed sense of balance and purpose. Every hero’s journey is unique. I look forward to walking beside you as we navigate yours together.

I remember how uncomfortable it felt to start therapy myself. It took time before I felt safe enough to be fully honest—with my therapist & sometimes with myself. So if part of you wants therapy while another part wants absolutely nothing to do with talking to a stranger about your feelings...that makes sense to me. You don’t have to show up ready to tell me everything. You don’t need to know what to talk about, have the “right” goals, cry on cue, or be immediately vulnerable. We can build trust over time. Therapy can absolutely be uncomfortable sometimes, but I don’t think discomfort means we need to push past your limits. We can slow down, get curious about what’s coming up & figure out together what you need. Most importantly, you’re allowed to decide whether I’m the right therapist for you. Therapy is a relationship, and finding someone you feel comfortable being increasingly honest with matters.

Hi! I’m Emilee Crowder, a relational, trauma-informed therapist providing online therapy for women in Texas, Arizona, Alaska, Utah & Washington. I work especially well with women navigating people-pleasing, anxiety, attachment wounds, relational trauma & religious trauma. You might find yourself overthinking interactions, worrying that someone is upset with you, struggling to know what you actually want, feeling responsible for other people’s emotions, or noticing the same relationship patterns showing up again & again. My approach to therapy is collaborative, curious & very human. Rather than simply trying to get rid of uncomfortable emotions, we’ll get curious about what they’re telling us, explore where your patterns came from & understand what they may have helped you survive, protect or maintain in the past. From there, we can work toward more self-trust, stronger boundaries & relationships where you don’t have to abandon yourself to stay connected. I’m trained in EMDR through an EMDRIA-approved program & may integrate EMDR when it could help us work with experiences, memories, beliefs or emotional responses that continue to feel stuck. I also bring lived experience to my work with religious trauma & faith transitions. I grew up in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, served a mission, attended BYU & later left the church. I understand how deeply religion can become intertwined with identity, relationships, belonging & self-trust. You don’t need to show up to therapy knowing exactly what to talk about or how to “do therapy” correctly. We’ll figure it out together.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s completely normal to feel unsure. That’s why I offer a free 15-minute phone call—no pressure, just a chance to connect. We can chat about what brings you here, and you can see if my approach feels supportive and comfortable for your journey.

Hello! I'm Jenae - therapist, coffee enthusiast, and believer in you! I’m a real human being that genuinely cares about helping people make sense of what’s been too heavy for too long. I help people work through trauma, anxiety, and depression so they can stop feeling like they are living in survival mode and start feeling present again. I work with people to untangle the pain, fear, or sadness that’s been running their lives. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you. You’re not broken. It’s about helping your mind and body finally feel safe enough to start healing.
