Often people utilize therapy and counseling interchangeably when speaking about their mental health journey. Counseling usually focuses on specific issues or short-term goals, while psychotherapy often addresses deeper patterns and long-term mental health needs. At Center for Natural Medicine, we look to combine benefits of both schools of thought in order to best help our clients heal. Therapy provides a safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without judgement. People often seek therapy to address a broad range of concerns—such as anxiety, depression, relationships, stress, trauma, grief, life transitions, behavioral habits, or achieving personal and professional goals.

Dr. McPherson is a gift!
I recently had a consultation with Dr. McPherson. Her calming presence and attentive listening helped me feel truly heard and understood. She was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything clearly. The remedies she recommended have already started to make a noticeable difference, and I feel like I’m finally on the right path to better health.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear answers to common questions about Psychotherapy.
Find clear answers to common questions about Psychotherapy.
How do I prepare for therapy?
No special preparation needed—just come with openness. Journaling beforehand, planning downtime after, or practicing sharing your feelings can be helpful.
What should I bring to my first session?
Yourself and an open mind.
Will there be homework?
Homework is optional. Some therapists assign tasks like journaling, reading, mindfulness exercises, or real-life practice to reinforce session learnings.
Why choose a therapist over a friend?
Therapists offer professional training, neutrality, confidentiality, and a structured, supportive environment—unlike friends, who may lack these important qualities.
What will I talk about in therapy?
Often, therapy covers whatever is on your mind—stress, relationships, mental health concerns, past events, or life transitions. Your therapist helps explore patterns, underlying thoughts, and coping strategies to help facilitate deeper understanding and mindset shifts.
Do I need to have a mental health diagnosis to start therapy?
No. Many people seek therapy for stress, relationship challenges, personal growth, or life transitions—not just mental health disorders.
How do I know if therapy is working and I am done?
Signs include feeling more self-aware, coping better with stress, feeling physically lighter, noticing less reactivity, ability to speak your truth, and noticing improvements in mood and relationships. Progress can take time and might also feel harder before it gets better. If unsure, discuss progress with your therapist. You will know you are able to decrease your frequency when you feel more confident in your ability to handle challenges you face independently. This is an ongoing discussion and your therapy needs will change throughout your journey.
How do I know if my therapist is a good fit?
You will feel it. If you leave your first phone call or session feeling a little lighter and the tension in your body isn’t as intense, odds are they may be a good fit. The therapeutic relationship is KEY, if you don’t feel as though your therapist is a safe place and you can see yourself being vulnerable then I suggest you keep looking. If you have never seen a therapist before it may be uncomfortable for you at first but when you find yourself talking and in your head you are thinking “OMG I am telling them everything” that’s a good sign.
What is the difference between psychotherapy and mental health counselling?
Psychotherapy often focuses on deeper emotional patterns, past experiences, and long-term personal growth, while mental health counselling may focus on specific concerns, coping skills, and current life challenges. Both approaches support emotional wellness and personal development.
Who can benefit from mental health therapy?
Mental health therapy can benefit individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship concerns, grief, burnout, life transitions, or anyone seeking greater self-understanding and emotional wellness.
How long does therapy for mental health take?
The length of therapy for mental health varies depending on each person's goals, needs, and circumstances. Some individuals benefit from short-term support, while others choose longer-term therapeutic work.
