Frequently asked questions
What does our first session look like?
Your first session is a space to share what brings you to therapy, discuss your goals, and begin building a comfortable connection at your own pace. We’ll explore current challenges, strengths, relationships, and any concerns you’d like support with. For children, sessions may include play, conversation, or creative activities to help them feel safe and engaged. Together, we’ll begin creating a plan that supports healing, growth, and overall wellness.
Do you give homework or practice between therapy sessions?
Sometimes, depending on your goals and comfort level. Practice between sessions may include coping skills, reflection activities, communication exercises, journaling, mindfulness, or small changes to try in daily life. For children, this may look like simple emotional check-ins, calming strategies, or family-based activities. Any “homework” is collaborative, practical, and meant to support growth without feeling overwhelming.
How do you decide together when therapy is done?
Therapy is a collaborative process, and together we regularly check in on your goals, progress, and overall well-being. Many clients begin to notice improved coping skills, stronger relationships, increased emotional awareness, or relief from the concerns that brought them to therapy. When you feel more confident managing challenges independently and your goals have been met, we can discuss transitioning out of therapy while ensuring you still feel supported.

Ms. Alladin was so amazingly thoughtful with how she connected with Desi. My daughter is always easily distracted, but she was able to understand that and seamlessly redirect her during the session.
