Frequently Asked Qs
How many sessions will I need?
We meet as long as you want and so long as you benefit. The number of sessions varies from client to client based on their goals and circumstances.
Therapy is not a quick-fix, and research shows meaningful change begins at 6 months.
Our core beliefs, behaviors, and relationship patterns have been with us for years, often since birth, so changing them will take time and patience, in the same way that our bodies don't change immediately after we start exercising or eating differently.
What is a typical session like?
We talk about whatever you want to talk about. I view sessions as your space, your time, your place to be who you are, in whatever state you are that day. Together, we explore and process what is happening in the session and how it might be impacting various parts of your life. Clients are often surprised by new insights and emotions that surface as they hear themselves speak.
How long are sessions?
Individual sessions are 50-minutes.
Group sessions are 75-minutes.
Do you accept insurance?
I do not work directly with insurance companies, but I can provide a statement of services that you can submit to insurance for possible reimbursement. I encourage you to reach out to your insurance company to understand your out-of-network behavioral health benefits.
Are sessions confidential?
Yes, sessions are completely confidential. The only instances when I would need to disclose information is if there was a threat of harm to you, someone else, or to the community; by a court order; or, if you request I release information in writing (i.e. to a physician or family member).
What are the frequency of sessions?
Sessions are typically once a week, especially at the beginning. Clients in crisis may need to meet twice a week; other clients may prefer to meet biweekly or monthly. Frequency is based on each situation and can be adjusted as needed.
