How do I get started with therapy at Welling Wellness? +

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and we want the process to feel as comfortable and straightforward as possible. Reach out through our contact form or scheduling page, and we’ll help you find a therapist and service that feels like a good fit for you. Whether you’re looking for individual, couples, or family therapy, EMDR, an ADHD assessment, or something else, we’re happy to help you figure out where to begin.

How quickly can I get a therapy appointment? +

We know that when you’re ready to start therapy, you may not want to wait weeks to get started. We do our best to offer appointments as soon as we can, and in many cases, we’re able to schedule new clients within about a week. Availability varies depending on the therapist, type of service, and your schedule, but we’ll do our best to find an option that works for you.

Can I choose my therapist? +

Absolutely! Finding a therapist you genuinely feel comfortable with matters, and you’re welcome to choose your therapist. You can explore our therapists and their areas of focus to find someone who feels like a good match. If you’re not sure who you’d connect with best, that’s completely okay too—we’re happy to learn a little about what you’re looking for and recommend someone who may be a good fit.

How do I know which therapist is right for me? +

Finding the right therapist is a personal decision, and it’s okay if you’re not sure where to start. Our therapists have different areas of focus, personalities, and approaches, and we want you to feel comfortable with the person you choose. You can explore our team to learn more about each therapist, or reach out and tell us a little about what you’re looking for. We’re happy to help you find someone who feels like a good fit.

What happens after I reach out? +

You don’t need to have everything figured out before contacting us. Once you reach out, we’ll connect with you, learn a little about what’s bringing you to therapy, answer any questions you may have, and talk through what the next step could look like. Whether you already know exactly what you’re looking for or you’re still figuring it out, we’ll meet you where you are.

What can I expect during my first therapy session? +

Your first session is a chance to slow down, get to know your therapist, and begin talking about what brings you to therapy. Your therapist will ask questions about what you’ve been experiencing, what you’re hoping for, and what feels important for you to work on. You don’t need to come in with everything figured out or know exactly what to say. We’ll take the time to get to know you and start from wherever you are.

Do you offer both in-person and virtual therapy? +

Yes! We offer in-person therapy from our Baltimore office in Federal Hill, as well as virtual therapy throughout Maryland, Washington, DC, and Virginia. Some people love the connection of sitting together in the office, while others appreciate being able to meet from the comfort of home. We’re happy to find an option that feels most comfortable and practical for you.

Where is your Baltimore therapy office located? +

Our Baltimore therapy office is located in the Federal Hill neighborhood, offering a comfortable and private space for in-person therapy. We also offer virtual therapy throughout Maryland, Washington, DC, and Virginia, so you can choose the format that works best for you.

Can I talk with someone before scheduling my first session? +

Yes. We offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation call for anyone who would like to connect before scheduling. It’s a chance to ask questions, tell us a little about what you’re looking for, learn more about our therapists, and get a feel for whether Welling Wellness feels like the right fit. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out during the call.

What if I have a busy or unpredictable schedule? +

We understand that life doesn’t always fit neatly into a calendar. If your schedule is full, let us know what days or times tend to work best for you, and we’ll do our best to find something that fits. When available, virtual appointments can also offer a little more flexibility. Our goal is to make therapy something that can realistically fit into your life—not something else you have to rearrange your life around.

How often do I need to come to therapy? +

There isn’t one right answer. Therapy should be shaped around you, your goals, and what feels sustainable. Many people begin with weekly sessions, while others may prefer biweekly or more flexible scheduling. Over time, the frequency of sessions may change as your needs change. You and your therapist can talk together about what pace feels right for you.
