Therapy is a treatment approach that focuses on helping individuals to manage and overcome psychological and emotional difficulties. It is typically provided by licensed mental health professionals, such as psychologists, counselors, or social workers, and may involve different types of talk therapy or other interventions tailored to the individual’s specific needs.
It’s essential to prioritize your mental health, and if you’re experiencing any of the following, therapy may be helpful:
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek professional help. Our team of experienced professionals can help you manage and overcome these challenges.
The process of therapy may vary depending on the individual and their specific needs. Initially, you will meet with a professional therapist who will work with you to get a better understanding of your mental health, medical history, and everyday life, along with your mental health-related concerns. Then, they work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that may include individual or group therapy, and may also involve medication. Therapy sessions are confidential and take place on a regular basis, usually weekly, to help you manage and overcome any challenges that you may be facing.
It is important to remember that therapy is a process, and it takes time to see progress. Be patient with yourself, and trust the process. Your therapist is here to support you and help you reach your goals. Remember that your therapist is a professional who is bound by confidentiality and will keep your sessions private.

While talking to a friend can be beneficial, seeking therapy offers several advantages. Therapists have specialized training and experience in treating mental health issues, which means they can offer professional advice and guidance. They can also provide a safe and confidential space for you to express yourself without fear of judgment.
Additionally, therapy provides a structured and focused approach to addressing mental health concerns, which can help you make progress in a way that is not always possible when talking to a friend.

No, taking medication is not a requirement for participating in therapy. Whether or not the medication is prescribed is a decision made between you and your mental health provider, and will depend on your specific needs and circumstances.
It’s natural to feel anxious or nervous before your first therapy session. To help manage these feelings, try the following:
Determining whether or not you need medication for a mental health issue is best left to a mental health professional, such as a psychiatrist. They can evaluate your symptoms, discuss your medical history and potential risk factors, and provide recommendations based on their clinical expertise. It’s important to note that medication is not always necessary or appropriate for every mental health concern, and therapy alone can often be effective in managing symptoms.
At Sanctum Foundation, we believe in a holistic approach to mental health. While medication may be a part of your treatment plan, we always start with non-pharmacological approaches like therapy, lifestyle changes, and stress-reducing techniques.
If medication is required, our team of psychiatrists will only prescribe medication after a thorough evaluation and will closely monitor you to ensure that the medication is working as intended. They will also discuss the potential side effects of any prescribed medication.
Therapists and psychiatrists have different areas of expertise. While therapists are trained to provide counselling and therapy, psychiatrists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health disorders and can prescribe medication if necessary.
If your therapist believes that you could benefit from medication or a more in-depth evaluation, they may refer you to a psychiatrist. However, you will still continue to work with your therapist throughout the process.
At Sanctum Foundation, we use various evidence-based assessments to measure your progress. These assessments are tailored to your individual treatment plan and help us to understand how you’re feeling and what areas you may need to focus on. We will also check in with you regularly to discuss your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
Yes, a diagnosis can change during the process of therapy. Mental health diagnoses are not set in stone and can change based on your progress and evolving symptoms. As you work with your therapist, they will continually assess your symptoms and adjust your diagnosis and treatment plan accordingly.
