FAQ
-
Therapy can help you in shifting problematic patterns that are inhibiting you from leading the full life you desire. It can help you lead a more purposeful, harmonious and balanced life and set you free from negative internalized thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and self-damaging patterns. In therapy you will gain insights and awareness about yourself, your relationships, your feelings, and your body and the way you interact with the world around you. Therapy supports you in understanding and building upon your strengths and developing tools and skills for changing problematic behaviors, compulsions, and negative thinking patterns.
-
Treatment length depends on the complexity of your presenting problems. Though it depends on each case, most anxiety and depression treatments tend to last between 6 and 12 months. More complex presentations such as PTSD and Complex Trauma can last longer. In some instances, clients come in with a very specific issue that they want to work on and/or limits to how long they can participate in the therapy. In such cases, we craft a treatment that addresses your specific need in the limited amount of time you are able to participate in the therapy.
-
Simply stated…when the therapy is working, you feel better. Early on in your healing journey and your therapist will delineate your goals for treatment and the specific tasks that will support you in your healing journey. Throughout treatment these goals will frequently be reassessed to guarantee that the treatment is moving towards achieving your goals.

Sessions are 50 minutes long. The typical session begins with a check in on how you are doing and any new information pertinent to treatment. We then determine what we will work on today be it a particular theme or topic that is part of your goals for therapy or any current issue that has arisen recently where you need support. As we explore the theme or issue for the session, we pay attention to your thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and how this lives in your body. In processing we aim to find resources, new learnings, unburdening the past, and new ways of coping with how these issues impact your life.
