Frequently asked questions

What does our first session look like?

Rapport building and gather important information of what what brings the client to therapy.

How often will you communicate with me as a parent?

Communication with the parent every session towards the end and send a re-cap of progress and ongoing treatment through the Emora Health portal to parent.

How do you handle confidentiality with teens?

What is said in therapy is confidential unless they share they are going to harm themselves or someone else. I disclose to parent the child's progress and treatment planning goals.

What if my child or teen won't open up to you?

Therapeutic rapport is a process that involves trust, genuineness, honesty and takes time to earn with all individuals especially children and teens. It's important they feel safe, un-judged, and heard.

Do you give homework or practice between sessions?

Yes, therapeutic worksheets to either complete and process and practice information during the next session. Sometimes homework can be activities to try in home setting too.

How long does therapy typically take?

Each therapy session is usually one clinical hour (57 minutes) but you can schedule for less.

How will I know if therapy is working?

Using different assessment tools that rate symptoms before therapy begins to have a baseline and through therapy we continue to provide those assessment and monitor the scores to decrease or extinct symptoms whenever possible. We also track client and parent reporting during each therapy session.

How do you decide together when therapy is done?

Therapy is completed and a formal discharge is given when the client has completed all their treatment plan goals.
