Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to our FAQ section! Here, I’ve compiled answers to common questions about therapy processes, and what you can expect. If you have additional inquiries or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly here.

Why should I see a therapist if I am used to handling things myself?

Everyone needs help now and then. Having the support of friends and family is wonderful, and necessary. However, it is important to have a relationship with a mental health professional you can trust who specializes in what you’re going through. In our work together, you can share freely and openly while learning skills to use outside of sessions. Talking only to friends or family can sometimes put a strain on those relationships, especially with tough issues.

What happens in therapy, and how can I make the most of it?

Active participation in therapy leads to more effective outcomes. The goal is to integrate insights from our sessions into your daily life. Beyond our meetings, I can recommend personalized activities to support your progress.

How long will therapy take?

Everyone is a little different, so it depends on what you’re experiencing. I recommend contacting me for a phone consultation so we can discuss your needs and what to expect.  Click here to learn more about what services are currently offered.

Can family members join me in session?

Yes, having family members join can be helpful. This can be discussed during your initial phone consultation. We’ll decide together when it’s the right time for them to join, focusing on your needs first.  Family sessions are not required, but they can be a helpful addition to your work.
