We Get It: Starting Counseling Is Hard

There are many reasons why not to start therapy. It’s scary. It’s expensive. It takes too much time. But ultimately, if you are not feeling better naturally, procrastinating the start of counseling can make you downright sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.

Here’s the deal. If you never heal what’s stuck, you’ll keep going like you’ve been going all along. Nothing will change. You might even feel worse over time. Your body might start breaking down from the stress. It’s common for unresolved trauma to result in things like chronic migraines, decreased immune function, and even shortened life span. Yikes. Talk about sick and tired of feeling sick and tired!

What You Need To Stop Procrastinating

Don’t worry though, counseling doesn’t always have to be torture. In fact, if you find a good fit and trust the therapist to have the skills to handle your situation, counseling can actually be enjoyable! At Hope For The Journey, we try to make the process as easy as it can be. We are here to answer your questions and make sure you know what to expect. Most of all, we want to empower you to take life by the horns.

How We Help You Get Started

1. Build Trust Before You Invest

We know it’s hard to think of spilling your guts to a stranger. And let’s face it: good counseling isn’t cheap. So, we understand you wanting to know what you are getting yourself into BEFORE you invest your time, emotional energy, and money. 

That’s why we offer a FREE 30-minute Meet & Greet for any new clients. This is a chance to meet your therapist and check out the fit before getting into the details of your story. You can ask questions about the therapists’ style in therapy. You can get a sense of what to expect. And you can make sure it feels comfortable–all before getting started in earnest. 

2. Money-Back Guarantee

We believe so much in making sure you have the right fit with your counselor that we will give you a full refund for the intake and first session if you decide that it’s just not a good fit after all. You won’t get any pushback at all. Just let us know and we’ll initiate the refund while also working with you to find better fit. Now that we know you a little better, we usually can help point you in the right direction.
