How do I get Started?
Once you’ve decided on the therapists that you’d like to work with, send her an email to request a free 15 minute phone consultation. The phone consultation is completed to ensure you and the therapist are a good fit. This is also your opportunity to ask any questions you may have regarding the practice, the therapeutic process, scheduling, fees, etc. If you’re ready, your therapist can schedule your initial appointment at the end of your call.

What is the 1st session like?
If you are like many clients we’ve worked with, having never been to therapy, you too may feel nervous about the first session. Therefore, in the initial session we just talk, get to know one another, identify your reasons for entering therapy, and identify treatment goals. Many of our clients have always felt relieved to be able to discuss any hang ups and fears about this process in the first session, and just chat about what has brought them to therapy, rather than being assessed right away. Building rapport is top priority in the first session!
-
What’s next?
The initial assessment and treatment plan is completed in the following session. Then, we get to work! Most clients attend therapy bi-monthly or monthly for a few consecutive months, and then may continue sessions periodically for mental health checkups and self-care. The duration of therapy is unique to each client. Some sessions may be lots of exploring and processing issues, some you may want to vent, in others your therapist may provide psychoeducation. It’s all part of the process.
-
How long will I need therapy?
It all depends. Although our clients present with similar issues, everyone is unique, therefore, treatment goals and the length of treatment is unique to each client as well. Usually from 6 months to 1 year, but we can work together for however long it takes! We taper off and end therapy once your presenting issues are alleviated, you have identified stressors/triggers, developed healthy coping skills, replaced unhealthy thoughts and behaviors with rational and healthy thought processes, engage in positive self-talk, have implemented regular self-care and a daily mental health regimen, have a better understanding of self and others, you are setting healthy boundaries in all relationships, and you have a healthier self-esteem, improved self-love, and practicing self-compassion.
