CONSULTATION

FREE CONSULTATIONS ARE OFFERED TO ALL POTENTIAL NEW CLIENTS. CONSULTATION CALLS ARE APPROXIMATELY 15-20 MINUTES IN LENGTH AND GIVE YOU THE CHANCE TO EXPRESS YOUR CURRENT NEEDS AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS THAT WILL HELP YOU FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE ABOUT ENTERING INTO THE COUNSELING EXPERIENCE.

FIRST SESSION

YOUR FIRST SESSION WILL BE SCHEDULED AFTER CONSENT AND RELATED FORMS ARE DIGITALLY SIGNED AND RETURNED VIA THE CLIENT PORTAL.

THE 1ST SESSION IS DESIGNATED AS A COMPREHENSIVE INTAKE AND DIAGNOSTIC SESSION. YOU CAN EXPECT TO ANSWER MORE DETAILED INTAKE QUESTIONS, THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO GET TO KNOW YOU JUST A LITTLE BIT BETTER. AT THIS TIME, WE WILL ALSO COLLABORATIVELY DEVELOP SOME LONG AND SHORT TERM GOALS FOR OUR WORK TOGETHER.

APPROACH TO THERAPY

WHILE THERAPY CAN LAST FROM SEVERAL MONTHS TO SEVERAL YEARS – I TAKE APPROACHES THAT ARE EMPIRICALLY SUPPORTED TO PRODUCE RESULTS WITHIN 10-12 SESSIONS. THESE TECHNIQUES FOCUS ON THOUGHT PATTERNS, ABILITY TO ACHIEVE MINDFULNESS, AND A COMMITMENT TO CHANGE. THIS MEANS THAT THERE IS A HEAVY EMPHASIS ON WHAT YOU ARE WILLING TO DO TO EXPERIENCE THE CHANGES THAT YOU DESIRE. LONGTERM SUPPORT IS ALSO AVAILABLE, WHERE REQUIRED.
