Frequently Asked Questions

---

During our first session, we will continue exploring if we are a good fit for each other. I will invite you to discuss what brings you to therapy and what you’re hoping to work on together. I utilize bio-psycho-social assessments, which help highlight biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to our health and human experience. This gives us a framework during our first session (and sometimes the next few) to help us understand what's contributing to your wellness. There will be time to ask questions and discuss what the therapeutic process may look like while working together.

Since everyone has a unique human experience, what takes place in the therapeutic space is also unique. Therefore, the length of therapy isn’t always predictable until the process begins unfolding. A good way to measure time in therapy is to continually assess the progress on your goals. Checking in regularly about why you came to therapy and what progress you’re making is a good way to assess the frequency and length of our time together.

One of the best things about therapy, in my opinion, is that it is a confidential space (mostly)! Within my ethical and legal obligation to maintain your privacy and confidentiality, there are a few exceptions. This includes if you report danger to yourself or others, child abuse, elderly abuse, or dependent adult abuse. In your first session we will review these instances, and we can discuss them should you have questions or concerns.
