Frequently Asked Questions

Here you'll find answers to common questions clients have asked about therapy.

"How do I know if I need therapy?”

If you believe you have tried everything you can think of on your
own but don’t feel things are improving, then working with one of
our skilled therapists can help. The therapy process at
Watermark Counseling in Draper, Utah can alleviate the feeling of
being stuck and not knowing what to do.
You will find your solutions as you learn new tools and gain insight.

“I’ve seen therapists in the past who weren’t a good fit.
How do you determine who can help me?”

At Watermark Counseling in Draper, Utah we have a thorough
intake process to determine who will be best suited to work with
you. We see you and your situation as unique. We are
determined to be as transparent and sincere as possible as we
offer a free consultation to listen to you and answer all of your
questions. Studies have suggested that the best outcomes in
therapy are rooted in the therapeutic relationship. We take this
seriously. We encourage you to read the biographies on our
website so you can also determine which of our therapists is the
best fit for you!

“The thought of going to therapy feels scary.
What if it doesn’t help?”

All feelings are real and inform us. Our clients at Watermark
Counseling have taught us that the thought of
going to therapy and making changes can feel scary and
uncertain. Even overwhelming. But we have learned that a quality
therapy experience makes a difference and does help.
We cannot always change our situation, but we can change how
we work with it. By reaching out to see us, you are already
making a positive difference in your circumstance!

“Can I schedule an appointment for my spouse or loved one?”

Although we appreciate that you want to be helpful, adults must
schedule appointments for themselves. When a person or spouse/partner seeks out therapy on their own they are more invested in the therapy process. Our therapists at Watermark Counseling place a high value on autonomy and self-determination as well. We will always support you to encourage your loved one to reach out to us.

“My situation seems so hard. I feel so alone. What if I feel judged?”

Difficult situations can bring up feelings of worry, judgement, and
insecurity. Our clinicians at Watermark Counseling view all of our clients with unconditional positive regard. Our role is to support you and collaborate with you, not to judge you. We want to help our clients be kind to themselves and feel more positive about themselves. Our most sincere hope is that you feel heard, cared for, and connected as you work through difficult feelings and situations. We work to provide a safe and collaborative space using effective, evidence-based practices so that you can have the best therapy experience possible. You are not alone!
