Frequently asked questions

What does our first session look like?

I discuss the primary concerns, ask questions to get to know you as a person, such as likes, dislikes, hobbies, daily routines, challenges, accomplishments/strengths, etc., life practices (spirituality/culture). I will ask what your goals are for therapy, explain my initial thoughts and direction for working with you, and how to best integrate those ideas collaboratively into your lifestyle.

How do you decide together when therapy is done?

I set an initial goal, depending on the concern, typically between 6-12 weeks ranging from 1x/week to 1x every two weeks for 30-60 minutes. Around week 8, we will discuss progress and determine if there are any additional concerns that arose or adding goals. If we discuss progress in some areas but not in others, we can adjust sessions as needed, such as increasing/decreasing time or frequency. If we feel needs have been met and skills are being maintained through inevitable challenges, we can begin to discuss discharge plans and future implications if needed.
