What would you like to know?

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Therapy may be helpful if you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or ready to understand yourself more deeply. You do not need to have every concern clearly defined before reaching out. An initial conversation can help you explore whether the practice fits your needs.

What can I expect in the first session?

The first session is an opportunity to discuss what brings you to therapy, relevant background, and what you hope to change. We can review the therapeutic approach, confidentiality and its limits, and practical arrangements. You can also ask questions and consider how comfortable you feel working together.

How do I choose the right therapist?

Consider the therapist’s experience, approach, and whether you feel heard and respected. Ask questions about concerns that matter to you. A good therapeutic fit includes space to discuss your goals, preferences, and any uncertainty about the process.

Do you accept insurance, and what is the session fee?

The practice currently offers self-pay sessions and does not accept insurance. Individual sessions are $250, and couples sessions are $275. Please confirm the fee for the service you need and the payment arrangements before booking.

How often would we meet?

Frequency depends on your needs and goals. Many people begin with weekly sessions, with the schedule discussed together and reviewed as therapy progresses.

How long does therapy take?

There is no single timetable. Some goals may be addressed through shorter-term work, while other concerns benefit from ongoing support. We can revisit your goals and discuss progress along the way.

What should I know about scheduling and cancellations?

Please ask about current availability, session length, payment arrangements, and the practice’s cancellation policy before booking. These details should be clear before you commit to an appointment.

What approaches do you use?

Depending on your needs, therapy may draw on person-centered practice, cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, solution-focused brief therapy, and mindfulness. Couples work may draw on Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman-informed approaches.

Is therapy confidential?

Confidentiality is central to therapy, with limits under applicable legal and professional requirements. These limits, along with how information is handled, are reviewed through informed consent. You are welcome to ask questions before sharing sensitive information.

What if the fit does not feel right?

You can raise concerns about the therapeutic relationship or approach. Your comfort matters. We can discuss adjustments and, when appropriate, referral options that may better fit your needs.

What concerns can you help with?

The practice supports adults with concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, ADHD-related challenges, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, racial stress, work stress, and life or career transitions. Visit the Services page for more detail.

Do you offer couples therapy?

Yes. Couples therapy can focus on recurring conflict, communication, and emotional connection. We can discuss your concerns and whether the practice’s approach is appropriate for your circumstances.

Do you work with children?

The practice does not currently provide therapy for children. Adult clients may discuss parenting concerns. If a child needs direct services, ask about appropriate referral options.

Are there concerns outside your scope?

Treatment for drug use concerns and schizophrenia spectrum disorders is outside this practice’s scope. When a different type of care is needed, we can discuss seeking services that better match those needs.
