Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy for Professionals
Is therapy for professionals different from regular therapy?
Yes. Therapy for high-performing professionals at MindWell Psychology addresses unique challenges like imposter syndrome, perfectionism, work-life balance, leadership stress, and high-functioning anxiety or depression. Dr. Freier understands the pressure of demanding careers and creates a space where you can be honest without judgment.
I’m successful in my career — do I really need therapy?
Success doesn’t protect against anxiety, burnout, or relationship difficulties. Many high-achievers in Providence seek therapy not because something is “wrong” but because they want to perform better, manage stress more effectively, or address patterns that hold them back. Think of it as an investment in your most important asset — yourself.
Will my employer or colleagues find out I’m in therapy?
Absolutely not. Therapy is completely confidential. Dr. Freier is a licensed psychologist bound by strict confidentiality laws. Your sessions, records, and even the fact that you’re a client are private. We also offer telehealth therapy throughout Rhode Island for added convenience and privacy.
Do you offer flexible scheduling for busy professionals?
Yes. MindWell Psychology offers both in-person sessions at our Providence, RI office and telehealth appointments throughout Rhode Island. We have morning, afternoon, and evening availability to accommodate demanding work schedules.
