HOW CAN THERAPY HELP ME?

And much more!

WHAT IS A THERAPY SESSION LIKE?

Each therapy session is unique and tailored to your specific desires for growth.

In the first session, I will guide you through a review of your history, a discussion on present concerns/challenges and an exploration of your specific desires for change. Together, we will come up with short and long term goals, which form the foundation for our work together in coming weeks.

It is common to schedule a series of weekly sessions, where each session lasts around forty-five minutes. Therapy can be short-term, focusing on a specific issue, or longer-term, addressing more complex issues or ongoing personal growth.

For therapy to be most effective, you must be an active participant, both during and between the sessions. There may be times when you are asked to take specific actions outside of the therapy sessions, such as practicing a new relaxation technique or taking notice of a certain behavior.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM MY THERAPIST?

Although each session is unique, here are some things that you can expect in every session with me:

Compassion, respect, and understanding
A safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment to express your feelings
Real strategies for enacting positive change
Effective and proven techniques, along with practical guidance

WHAT IS THE COST OF THERAPY?

I currently accept a number of major insurance plans. Additionally, I am an out-of-network provider and would be happy to give you the forms you need to submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
I accept cash and check.
