Trisha Beck

So, so many things! Firstly, please disregard almost everything you've ever seen or heard on tv about therapy. Therapy is a joint effort between a therapist and the client to identify problematic thinking, feelings and behaviors and learn ways to make things better. There are as many ways to do that as there are therapists and you must find a therapist you like, otherwise, it will not work. You will get what you put into therapy, so if you work hard, try new things (which can be very uncomfortable sometimes) and remain open-minded, you will improve. Therapy takes time, so don't expect a quick fix. I truly believe therapy works and people can recover. That's why my business is called "Recovery Works." It also has that name because a person needs to work at their recovery. As a therapist, I believe it is important to work WITH my client to identify goals and take steps to achieve them. I do not work ON my clients to change them into what I think they "should" be. Please, don't expect your therapy to be a quick fix if you are trying to correct a long-standing issues. Please be patient with yourself during the process and know that not all days will be great, but you will make progress as time goes by if you use what you've learned in session and practice in the real world.
