Yeah, yeah, I do think it's very helpful.

And that's, I think the point is that there's lots of ways to help your mental health, other than just therapy.

Now, I'm not trying to get people to not come to therapy, of course, because I'm a therapist.

No, I want people to do that.

But not everybody needs long term therapy.

That's why we're actually even starting, we have just started a program, not a program, we've started offering one-time therapy.

It's single session therapy.

Now, sometimes therapists will comment and be like, that's not ethical or that's not right or that's not therapy.

No, it is.

It's evidence-based single session therapy.

And we use problem solving models.

We use person-centered models.

Like we use, it's just the entire relationship.

You still are caring about the relationship between the client and the therapist, but it's all met for just one session.

And I think that is a little bit more accessible to people and also not everybody needs a clinical diagnosis.

Because what I think people don't understand is that when you use your insurance to go to therapy, you're getting a mental health diagnosis.

you because otherwise insurance isn't paying for it because it has to be a medical you know issue and so i think that's where a lot of people are you know they don't want to go to therapy and not everybody needs it has a mental health diagnosis but everybody can use help with their mental health they can use help with their relationships or their self-esteem or you know you can have low self-esteem that doesn't mean you have a mental health disorder but you You can certainly talk about your low self-esteem in therapy and maybe it will, you know, you can get somewhere with it.

And so it's really kind of, that's why I was thinking if we can offer things that are just more, you know, matching what people need as opposed to this is the way it's offered and that's what you have to do.

So, yeah.

So so essentially you're breaking the stigma of what people think about about therapy, which is great because talk therapy may not be for a bit like you said, you know, do the one session, you know.

Now, my question with that one session, though, is is that do you.

Do you think that I'm like, okay, let me rephrase this.

I don't think about this.

Okay.

So when they go to these one single sessions, if they need more, is it, are they able to get more than there? It's like, some people may go into these things, not realizing some deep seated issues they may have that a therapist may notice when talking to them.
