What to Expect from Treatment
I offer a free, fifteen-minute phone consultation to discuss your goals and expectations for treatment. After this consultation, you may choose to schedule the initial session or I will discuss referral options that better fit your needs.
To begin your initial session, you will review necessary paperwork and assess your experiences with and goals for therapy. I will also focus on gathering information and building rapport. Video sessions are available.
Consultation and Initial Session
I believe that therapy is a collaborative effort, and that progress is best achieved when clients and therapists work together as a team. To that end, I strive to establish a supportive and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship with my clients, and to create a safe space where they can explore their thoughts and feelings openly. You can expect to be met with warmth, acceptance, kindness, and also challenges.
Ongoing Treatment
Your treatment is voluntary and your autonomy will always be respected. You may choose to end your work together at any time. Some choose to pursue therapy as a long-term endeavor, while others may seek to terminate after they have moved towards their goals.
