“Where do I start?”

We hear this question every day.

Most people who reach out don’t have a diagnosis or a clear name for what they’re experiencing. They just know something feels off. Life feels heavier. Their reactions feel bigger. They’re not sleeping well. They’re overwhelmed, numb, or stuck, and they don’t know why.

And that’s okay.

You don’t need to know whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, or something else entirely. That’s not your job. Your only job is to notice that you’re struggling and to ask for support.
Therapy isn’t about having the right label, it’s about understanding what you’re experiencing and learning how to feel more like yourself again.

If you’re wondering where to start, this is it. 💙

Starting therapy can feel intimidating when you don’t know what to expect. Your first session is simply a place to begin gently, at your own pace. 💙

What to Expect in Your First Therapy Session
A gentle look at what your first step really feels like

It’s normal to feel nervous
Most people come in feeling unsure, hopeful, or a little anxious. There’s nothing you need to prove or explain perfectly.

It’s a conversation, not an interrogation
Your therapist will ask questions to understand you and what brought you in. You’re always in control of what you share.

You don’t need the right words
You don’t have to prepare or know exactly what to say. Silence, emotion, and uncertainty are all welcome here.

The first session is about comfort and clarity
We move at your pace, focus on safety, and help you understand next steps.

Coping skills don’t have to be big, dramatic, or time-consuming to make a real difference.
Sometimes the smallest practices — a deep breath, a step outside, a moment of stillness — can help your nervous system reset and bring you back into the present.
We’d love to know:
What’s one small coping strategy that helps you feel grounded when life gets heavy?
Maybe it’s:
• Stepping away from your phone
• Splashing cool water on your hands and face
• Listening to a favorite song
• Naming what you’re feeling
• Stretching your shoulders
Your comment might be the strategy someone else needs today. 💬💙

We’d like to invite you to an upcoming educational webinar hosted by LMV Counseling: a 45-minute introduction to Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAP).

This webinar is designed for people who want a clear, grounded understanding of KAP and how it differs from medication-only ketamine treatments. We’ll walk through the core therapeutic framework of KAP, including preparation, the inner-directed experience, medicine sessions, and integration. Attendees will leave with a practical overview of how Ketamine-Assisted Therapy supports deeper therapeutic work and healing, as well as clarity around its role within a comprehensive mental health treatment plan.

Healing doesn't happen in a straight line and it doesn’t look the same for everyone. Some days you may feel strong and steady. Other days might feel heavier. Both are part of the journey.

At LMV Counseling, we honor your pace.
There’s no rushing, no “should have healed by now,” and no unrealistic expectations. Just compassionate support, real understanding, and a therapist who walks beside you every step of the way.

Your progress is valid.
Your feelings matter.
And healing is absolutely possible- in the time your mind and body are ready for it.
Whenever you’re ready, we’re here.

At LMV Counseling, feeling safe isn’t an afterthought — it’s the foundation of everything we do.
You deserve a space where you can speak freely, feel seen, and be met with compassion instead of judgment. Healing happens when you don’t have to protect yourself from being misunderstood.

If you’re ready for that kind of support, we’re here.

Feeling like life is heavier than it should be?

Sometimes the weight of everything—work, relationships, expectations—can build up quietly until it feels overwhelming. You’re not supposed to just “push through” that alone. Reaching out for support is a strong, brave first step toward feeling lighter.

If you’re ready to talk, we’re here.
