Your journey to feeling better
At Nurture, we understand that starting therapy can feel like a big step. That’s why we’re here to guide you through every part of the process. Using evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), our approach is structured, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs.
Here’s what your journey with us may look like:
1 / Intake and assessment
Your journey begins with an intake process where you and your therapist will:
Discuss the challenges you’re facing and the goals you’d like to achieve.
Complete assessments, such as the GAD-7 for anxiety or PHQ-9 for depression, to establish a starting point.
Create a personalized treatment plan focused on your specific needs.
These first sessions are designed to help you feel understood and supported while laying the foundation for your progress.
2 / Building awareness and skills
In the early stages of therapy, you’ll work with your therapist to:
Understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected.
Learn CBT techniques like challenging negative thoughts and building healthy routines.
Begin using these tools in your daily life to create small but meaningful changes.
This is when many clients begin to notice shifts, like feeling less overwhelmed or gaining new clarity.
3 / Deepening change and progress
As therapy progresses, the focus will move toward:
Refining the skills you’ve learned and applying them to specific challenges.
Gaining confidence in managing anxiety, depressive symptoms, or other struggles.
Addressing deeper patterns that may be holding you back and working toward long-term solutions.
During this stage, many mothers report feeling stronger, more capable, and more in control of their emotions.
4 / Maintaining growth
In the final phase, therapy will center on:
Strengthening and solidifying the tools you’ve gained.
Creating a plan to handle future challenges independently.
Reflecting on your progress and identifying areas for ongoing support if needed.
Some clients continue therapy beyond this phase, meeting weekly or bi-weekly to maintain their progress.
