What will therapy with you be like?
My clients have described me as warm, supportive, calm, and easy to talk to. My objective is to help you feel comfortable so you can better understand yourself and create a more satisfying life. I'll adapt our work together to fit your needs and show deep respect for who you are. Together, we will become curious about your life—especially the parts of it that seem troubling—and explore how you can begin to make changes.
What's a typical first step in therapy?
The issue or issues that bring you to therapy is where we'll begin. The first session will be a time for us to get to know each other, to see if I'm a good match for you, and for you to tell me what's on your mind and ask any questions you have. During our first few sessions, we'll talk about what you hope to gain from therapy. As therapy progresses, we'll make modifications as necessary.
How long are your sessions?
My sessions are typically 50 minutes for individual clients and 75 minutes for couples.
How would you describe your typical client?
My clients are generally successful, and often creative, people who are seeking help for a challenging situation in their lives. While there is no such thing as a "typical" client, what many clients have in common is that they begin therapy during a transitional period in their lives. Transitions often correlate to a person's age or developmental level and are sometimes accompanied by anxiety, depression, or other psychological issues. Some examples of transitions include starting college or graduate school, beginning or changing careers, moving to a new home, starting or ending a relationship, getting married or divorced, becoming a parent, expanding a business, experiencing a mid-life crisis, having children leave home, losing a loved one, growing older, retiring, having a serious illness, and experiencing a change in your spiritual beliefs.
How should I start?
If you'd like to talk to me about how I might be able to help you, I offer new clients a no-charge 30-minute consultation. Remember that your decision to begin therapy reflects a commitment to yourself. I believe it's also a step toward greater personal satisfaction.
Do you take insurance?
Although I don't take insurance directly, I'll provide the paperwork you'll need to file for out-of-network benefits. Before you decide to use insurance for your mental health needs, you should be aware that your insurance company may request information about your treatment. The type of information required by insurance companies varies. For example, some companies may ask for a diagnosis and dates and types of service, while others may even request client notes. If you decide to use insurance, be sure to phone your insurance company before coming for your first session to ask about out-of-network outpatient mental health coverage.
