How to Make the Most of Your Therapy Sessions

1. Choose the Right Therapy Option
   Not all therapy styles work the same for everyone. At Serene Pathways, we offer individual, couples, and group therapy. Our team can help match you with the best option for your needs.

2. Attend Sessions Consistently
   Therapy works best when you commit to regular sessions. Skipping appointments can delay progress. If you’re struggling with consistency, consider setting reminders or scheduling sessions at convenient times.

3. Set Clear Goals
   Think about what you want to achieve with therapy. Whether it’s reducing anxiety, improving relationships, or developing coping skills, having clear goals can make your sessions more productive.

4. Be Open and Honest
   Your therapist is here to help, not judge. The more honest you are about your thoughts and feelings, the better they can support you.

5. Utilize Additional Resources
   IEHP offers other mental health resources like 24/7 support hotlines, wellness programs, and crisis intervention. Ask your therapist about additional support options available to you.
