Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes, therapy can be beneficial for anyone. It provides an opportunity to learn new tools and techniques to navigate challenges and create meaningful change in your life. However, therapy requires commitment and a willingness to embrace new perspectives, challenge old habits, and develop new skills in their place.
Building a strong therapeutic relationship takes effort from both the therapist and the client. Sometimes, that connection doesn’t happen immediately—and that’s okay. I understand it may take a few sessions to establish trust and rapport.
It’s also important to acknowledge that while therapy can be transformative, it may not always be enough on its own. In some cases, additional treatment options may be necessary to support your overall well-being.
-
Every prospective client is offered a free 15-minute consultation to determine if we’re a good fit for one another. During this time, we’ll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and what you’re looking for in a therapist. I will discuss the therapeutic process, my approach, and what to expect from our work together. This consultation is a chance to ensure that you feel comfortable and confident moving forward.
-
During our first session, we’ll review your completed intake paperwork, including consent for treatment, cancellation policies, and your rights to confidentiality. I’ll take some time to learn about your history and what brought you to therapy. Together, we’ll explore your goals and collaboratively decide on the next steps in your healing journey.
-
Session lengths can vary depending on your individual treatment plan and therapeutic needs. I offer:
Regular hourly sessions: These are typically 50-60 minutes.
Therapy intensives: These longer sessions range from 90 minutes to three hours, allowing us to dive deeper into your healing journey when more time is needed.
We'll determine the best session length based on your goals and preferences during our initial consultation.
-
No, I do not prescribe medication. However, if after a few sessions we determine that medication might help manage overwhelming symptoms, I can provide a referral to a trusted psychiatrist for further evaluation and medication management. Together, we’ll explore what supports your well-being best.
-
Yes, it’s important for me to be aware of any medications you’re currently taking or have taken in the past. During our sessions, I may ask about your medication’s effectiveness and your consistency in taking it. If appropriate, I might recommend completing a release of information form to collaborate with your prescribing provider.
Please know that I would never contact your prescribing physician without discussing it with you first, and I would only do so if it’s in your best interest. Open communication helps ensure that we’re addressing your needs holistically and effectively.
