Thinking about starting therapy, but not sure if you actually need it or what to expect? In this full episode of The Counseling Podcast, Jonathan Kittel from Wellspring Counseling in Greenville, SC, breaks down everything you need to know before taking that first step. We demystify the entire counseling process—from recognizing when it’s time to seek support using the "distress vs. interference" framework, to what happens during your first intake session, how often you should attend, and realistic treatment timelines. 💡 What we cover in this episode: • How to measure emotional distress vs. daily life interference • What actually happens during your initial therapy appointment • Why a bi-weekly schedule builds momentum while giving you room to practice • Treatment timelines and the 5–6 session progress review milestone 🔗 Connect with Wellspring Counseling: 🌐 Website: https://wellspringgreenville.com 📞 Phone: (864) 214-2084 📍 Serving Greenville & Taylors, South Carolina #Counseling #MentalHealth #TherapyForBeginners #WellspringCounseling #GreenvilleSC
