FAQ

Q: How do I know if therapy is right for me?

A: Therapy can be beneficial for anyone seeking support, guidance, or a safe space to explore personal challenges and growth. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply seeking positive change, therapy could be a valuable resource for you.

Q What can I expect during the first therapy session?

A: Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss your goals and concerns. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy and how we can work together to address your needs. It's a collaborative process, and your comfort and confidentiality are top priorities.

Q: How long will therapy take to see results?

A: The length of therapy varies depending on individual needs and goals. Some people find relief and insights after just a few sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term support. Together, we'll regularly assess your progress and adjust our approach as needed to ensure you're getting the most out of your therapy journey.

Q: Is therapy confidential?

A: Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy. What you share in our sessions is strictly confidential, except in rare circumstances where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others. I'll discuss confidentiality in more detail during our first session to ensure you feel comfortable and informed.

Q: How often will we meet for therapy?

A: We'll collaboratively determine the frequency of our sessions based on your needs and goals. Initially, we may meet weekly to establish rapport and momentum. Over time, we may adjust the frequency as you progress and feel more confident in managing challenges independently.

Q: What if I'm not sure what to talk about in therapy?

A: That's completely okay! Therapy is a space for you to explore whatever is on your mind, whether it's specific concerns, past experiences, or even uncertainties about the therapeutic process itself. I'm here to support you in navigating your thoughts and emotions, no matter where our sessions take us.

Q: How much does therapy cost, and do you accept insurance?

A: I offer competitive rates for my services, and I'm happy to discuss fees during our initial consultation. While I don't directly bill insurance, I can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. Additionally, I offer sliding scale options for those facing financial constraints. Your access to therapy is important to me, and we can explore options to make it affordable for you.

Q: What if I'm hesitant or nervous about starting therapy?

A: It's completely normal to feel apprehensive about starting therapy, especially if it's your first time. Remember that seeking help is a brave and empowering step towards positive change. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable expressing yourself and exploring your concerns at your own pace.

Q: Can I involve family members or loved ones in my therapy sessions?

A: Absolutely! Involving family members or loved ones can be beneficial, especially in addressing relational dynamics or family conflicts. With your consent, we can explore the possibility of including them in sessions or arranging separate family therapy sessions to support your overall goals and well-being.
