Sessions are 50 minutes long. This allows your therapist some extra time for note taking and reflection.

Therapy is known to be most effective when practiced on a weekly basis, especially for those just starting out. Clients may choose to meet less often if that better meets their emotional or financial requirements.

The relationship with your therapist can be as long or short as you like.

Ultimately you will decide whether therapy meets your expectations and provides you the support that you need. You and your therapist will check in on progress/additional goal setting on a regular basis.

Your first session is a chance for you and your therapist to get to know each other and to discuss your goals for therapy.

In further sessions, your therapist can help to guide discussion with questions or relevant exercises to practice together. We encourage clients to prepare for sessions by thinking of skills they want to work on or relevant topics to discuss in order to get the most out of these sessions.

The contact button at the top of the page will help you set up a free, 10-15 minute phone consultation. If you are then interested in moving forward we can work with you to schedule an appointment, complete the client intake forms, and help verify your insurance benefits before your first session.
