Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to the questions people most often ask when considering therapy at Watermark Counseling. If you have a question that isn’t listed here, we’d be glad to talk with you directly.

How do I know if I need therapy?

Some common signs that therapy may help include:

  • Frequent mood swings or feeling overwhelmed and anxious
  • Persistent negative thoughts or self-doubt
  • Ongoing relationship challenges or distress
  • Thoughts about hurting yourself
  • Difficulty concentrating at work or school
  • Turning to substances to cope with stress
  • Withdrawing from social activities
  • Significant changes in sleep patterns
  • Experiencing loss, trauma, abuse, or major life changes that feel hard to manage
    If any of these resonate with you, therapy could be a meaningful support as you work toward clarity, resilience, and well-being.

We work with a broad range of concerns, including but not limited to:

  • Anxiety and depression
  • Mood and behavioral conditions
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Grief, loss, and life transitions
  • Trauma and stress
  • Low self-esteem or self-worth
  • Coping with chronic illness
    Whether symptoms feel mild or severe, therapy can offer tools and support to help you navigate life more effectively.

Feeling nervous or uncertain about starting therapy is completely normal — many people feel this way before their first session. At Watermark Counseling, we provide a safe, non-judgmental space where your experiences are heard and respected. While therapy doesn’t change a situation, it can help change how you approach it and equip you with tools to work through challenges.

Therapy can feel vulnerable, and that’s part of why a respectful, supportive environment matters. At Watermark Counseling, clinicians practice unconditional positive regard, meaning you are accepted and supported without judgment. Our goal is to help you feel heard, cared for, and understood — not judged — as you work through difficult feelings or situations.

The length of therapy varies depending on your goals and needs. Some people find relief in a few sessions for a specific issue, while others engage in ongoing work for deeper patterns or growth. We’ll collaborate with you to determine a pace that feels right. (You might add your average recommendation here, if the therapist has one.)
Early sessions often involve learning about your current concerns, personal history, and what you hope to achieve. Over time, sessions may include supportive conversation, skill-building, emotional processing, and strategies tailored to your goals. Therapy is collaborative — you guide what matters most, and we support you in reaching it.
Yes. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of effective therapy. What you share in sessions is kept private, with exceptions required by law (e.g., risk of harm to self or others, or abuse reporting). Your therapist will explain confidentiality in your first session and answer any questions you have.
Insurance coverage varies by plan. Watermark Counseling works with several insurance providers and can help you understand your benefits. Even if you choose to pay privately (self-pay), we can provide a superbill you may submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement, depending on your plan.

We know therapy involves both emotional and practical considerations — and we’re here to help with both. You’re always welcome to call (801) 218-2328 or send an inquiry through our contact form so we can answer individual questions or talk through next steps.

Many insurance companies allow you to be reimbursed for what you spend on therapy sessions under your Out of Network benefits. Check with your insurance provider for details of your specific plan.
