Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be in crisis to come to therapy?
Not at all. In fact, the best time to seek support is before the crisis — when you still have the energy to do the work.
You don’t need to be falling apart to deserve help. You just need to feel like something could be better. That’s enough.
I'm not sure I'm ready. Is that okay?
Completely. Most people feel uncertain before their first session — and that uncertainty is actually a sign that you’re taking this seriously, not that you should wait.
We start gently. At your pace. The first conversation is just that — a conversation. No commitment, no pressure, nothing to prepare for.
You just have to show up.
Can I afford this?
I understand that cost is a real barrier for many people — and I’ve built Heal with Geet with that in mind.
Sessions are priced accessibly because I believe mental health support should not be a privilege reserved for the few.
I also keep a small number of pro-bono slots each week for those going through a genuinely difficult time who cannot afford support right now. If that’s you — please reach out. Those slots are real, and they’re offered with the same care as every other session.
If money is the only thing standing between you and getting support, let’s talk about it. We’ll figure something out.
I've tried therapy before and it didn't help.
That’s more common than you think — and it’s often not about therapy not working. It’s about fit, timing, or approach.
A therapist who isn’t right for you can feel like proof that nothing will work. It isn’t.
I’d love to have a conversation about what felt missing before — what you needed that you didn’t get. Because that actually helps me understand how to show up differently for you.
One experience is not the whole story.
What will people think if I go to therapy?
All sessions are online and completely private. Nobody needs to know unless you choose to tell them.
But I’d also gently ask you this — how long have you been putting someone else’s imagined opinion above your own wellbeing?
The people who love you want you to be okay. And the people who would judge you for getting help — their opinion was never really yours to carry.
I should be able to handle this myself.
You probably have been handling it — alone, quietly, for a long time. And you’ve done remarkably well.
But even therapists have therapists. Doctors see doctors. Strength isn’t refusing help — strength is knowing when to ask for it.
Reaching out isn’t giving up. It’s one of the most self-aware, courageous things a person can do.
You’ve been strong enough for long enough. Let someone be strong for you for a while.
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Research consistently shows that online therapy is as effective as in-person for most people — and for many, it’s actually better.
When you’re in your own space — your own home, your own chair, your own cup of tea — something shifts. People often find it easier to open up. There’s less performance, less commute, less “getting ready to go somewhere.”
All my sessions are online. It’s not a compromise — it’s a considered choice.
How long before I feel different?
Most people notice something shifting within the first few sessions — not because the problems disappear, but because having a genuinely safe space to process them changes how they feel to carry.
Therapy isn’t a straight line. There will be sessions that feel lighter and sessions that feel harder. That’s not failure — that’s the work.
What I can tell you is this: people who stay with it long enough almost always say the same thing — I wish I had done this sooner.
What if my situation is so difficult that therapy can't actually change anything?
That’s one of the most honest questions anyone can ask — and it deserves an honest answer.
Therapy may not change your circumstances. A loss stays a loss. A difficult relationship stays difficult. Some things in life are simply hard.
But therapy can change how you carry those things. It can change the weight of them. It can change what you tell yourself about them at 2am.
That’s not a small thing. That’s everything.
Can trauma actually be healed — or do you just learn to live with it?
Both, and neither fully captures it.
Trauma doesn’t disappear like it never happened. But with the right support, it can stop running your life. The triggers become quieter. The body relaxes. The story you carry about yourself begins to shift.
Healing from trauma isn’t about forgetting. It’s about reaching a place where the past no longer controls the present.
That place is real. And it’s reachable.
Still have a question?
Just reach out. There are no wrong questions — and no judgment in asking them.
A conversation costs nothing and might just change everything.
