FAQ
Unlike traditional services created for serious mental illness with intimidating long-term treatments, we
specialize in nurturing mental wellbeing through solution-focused, Single Session Counseling (SSC) or Short-term
Treatment to help individuals with mild to moderate symptoms. The clients are not offered services that they may
not need. During the one-session treatment, the client and the counselor work together by focusing on what just
happened (the trigger), how you feel (the talk-through), what intensified your current emotions (the cause), how
to prevent emotions from working against you and what’s the next step (the coping skills).
However, our service currently is only available through your employer.
Onward is designed for anyone experiencing mild to moderate mental distress, including anxiety, depression, and
stress, while navigating everyday life challenges such as career, relationships, life transitions, social
anxiety, cultural adjustment, and more. It is also an ideal option for first-time counseling users seeking an
introductory experience.
However, it is important to note that we do not provide medical prescriptions, diagnoses, or long-term
treatments. If you’re experiencing serious distress or illness, we encourage you to reach out to a psychiatrist
for a medical diagnosis or consult with a counselor to establish a comprehensive treatment plan.
