Question 1

Who is copewell?

Accepted Answer

copewell is a mental and sexual healthcare provider dedicated to helping individuals navigate their challenges through compassionate, evidence-based therapy. We specialize in providing online therapy sessions, ensuring a safe, confidential, and judgment-free space where clients can explore their emotions, build resilience, and improve their overall well-being.

Question 2

How do online therapy sessions work?

Accepted Answer

Our online therapy sessions take place via a secure video platform, allowing you to receive professional support from the comfort of your own space. Before your session, you will receive a link to join the call. Sessions follow the same structure as in-person therapy, where we explore your concerns, set goals, and work through challenges using evidence-based approaches. To ensure a smooth experience, we ask our clients to ensure a quiet, private space with a stable internet connection.

Question 3

Is therapy confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes, confidentiality is a fundamental part of therapy, and your personal information, as well as anything discussed in sessions, is protected under strict professional and ethical guidelines. However, there are a few situations where information may need to be shared: 1) Supervision and Intervision: To ensure the highest quality of care, we may consult with external professionals for supervision or intervision. 2) Internal Team & Administrative Access: copewell operates with a team of mental health professionals and administrative staff who may require limited access to protected data for clinical and operational purposes. 3) Legal and Ethical Exceptions: In certain circumstances, we are legally or ethically required to break confidentiality, such as if we receive a valid court order or if we believe you or someone else is at immediate risk of serious harm.

Question 4

What is the duration, frequency, and length of treatment?

Accepted Answer

The duration and frequency of therapy vary depending on individual needs, goals, and progress. Sessions typically last 50 minutes, with some extended sessions available if agreed upon in advance. Most clients begin with weekly or biweekly sessions, though the frequency may be adjusted over time. Some individuals benefit from short-term therapy (a few months), while others engage in longer-term support. During your sessions, we will regularly assess your progress and discuss whether adjustments to frequency or duration are needed.

Question 5

What should I expect from my first session?

Accepted Answer

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding your needs. We will discuss: Your reasons for seeking therapy and any challenges you're facing, your goals and expectations for therapy, relevant personal, medical, or psychological history that may help inform the treatment process, and how therapy works, including confidentiality, session structure, and any questions you may have. This session is also a space for you to determine whether you feel comfortable with our approach.
