How can therapy help me?
Therapy provides a dedicated time and space to focus on yourself—your healing, growth, and self-discovery. For many, simply committing to this process is a meaningful step toward progress.
In a safe, non-judgmental environment, therapy allows you to reflect, process, and heal from troubling past experiences. It fosters self-exploration, helping you gain deeper understanding, assurance, and affirmation as you work toward living in alignment with your values and truths.
Through therapy, you can:
- Learn to set and maintain healthy boundaries.
- Build stronger, healthier relationships.
- Navigate and address challenges in difficult relationships.
- Practice asserting yourself with confidence.
- Develop coping strategies to manage challenging emotions.
- Strengthen problem-solving skills to face life’s complexities.
Therapy offers a supportive space for growth, helping you create meaningful change and live a more fulfilled and authentic life.
What can I expect at my first session?
Your first therapy session is an opportunity to get to know your therapist and begin building a foundation for your therapeutic journey.
During the session, you will review the paperwork that was sent to you beforehand. Together, you’ll discuss what brought you to therapy, your mental health and family history, your strengths, concerns, and the goals you’d like to achieve through therapy.
This is also a time for you to ask any questions you may have about the process and to assess whether working with your therapist feels like a good fit for you. It’s the first step toward creating a safe, collaborative, and supportive space for your growth and healing.
How often should I schedule a therapy session?
To gain the most meaningful benefits from therapy, consistency is key. Regular sessions provide the foundation for progress and growth. For this reason, we strongly recommend committing to weekly sessions to establish momentum and create lasting change.
What is your cancellation policy?
We require at least 24 hours’ notice for any canceled appointments. If you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice or fail to attend your session (no-show), you may be charged the full session fee. Please note that insurance does not cover fees for late cancellations or missed appointments.
We encourage you to notify your therapist as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule to avoid these charges and maintain consistency in your care.
Do you offer virtual or in-person therapy?
Yes, we offer both in-person and virtual therapy sessions to meet your individual needs. Our therapists are trained to provide high-quality, traditional talk therapy in whichever format works best for you.
Virtual therapy can be an excellent option for clients who value flexibility and accessibility, while in-person sessions may be more beneficial for certain individuals, especially children, who thrive with face-to-face interaction.
We utilize a variety of traditional therapeutic approaches and techniques, adapting them to meet your specific goals and needs. Whether through virtual or in-person sessions, our tailored interventions are designed to support you on your therapeutic journey.
What is a sliding scale, and do you offer one?
A sliding scale is a flexible fee structure designed to make therapy more accessible for private-paying clients. It can be particularly helpful for individuals who choose not to use insurance or those without health insurance.
In our commitment to ethical standards and social equity, we offer a sliding scale based on income and the number of dependents. If you would like more information about our sliding scale and how it works, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
