Frequently Asked Questions

01.

How can I find out if you are the right therapist for me?

When you call or email me, we will schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation to talk about what is bringing you to therapy. I’ll tell you more about my approach to therapy and answer any questions you have. If I’m not the right fit for you, I would be happy to provide referrals to other therapists who may better meet your needs.

What will therapy be like?

During our first appointment, which lasts 50-80 minutes, I will ask questions about your symptoms, background, and goals for therapy. We will develop a treatment plan together, and will then begin meeting weekly for 50-minute therapy sessions. Using techniques from evidence-based treatments, we will consider the ways that your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. We will explore your values and your core beliefs about yourself, others, and the world. You will learn and practice strategies to manage the challenges you face. Much of the work of therapy takes place outside our time together as you implement what you learn in your day-to-day life. As you make progress toward your goals, we may decide to meet less frequently, typically 1-2 times per month.
