How it works
Navigating therapy from beginning to end.
1. Look around and review my services and rates.
Take a look around my website. Determine what service you’re interested in. Identify your monthly budget for therapy in the event my standard rate isn’t reasonable for you. While a reduction of fees isn’t guaranteed, I will communicate any financial relief that I may be able to provide. Remember, this is your experience. Grab a journal and write down any questions you may have so that when you have your consultation we are talking about things that matter to you!
2. Let’s talk! Schedule a complimentary 15 minute consult or send me a message.
Book a consultation to determine whether I would be a good fit for you. Identifying if my style works for you is essential for the success of your healing process. It's a chance to briefly get to know each other, see if we vibe, discuss what brings you to therapy, and go over your treatment options. This is also a time where we discuss fees and any reduced rates that may be applied. All reduced agreements will be discussed at initial consultation and solidified with a signed written contract prior to the first scheduled session. At the conclusion of your consult we will make sure you're needs are in alignment with my expertise.
3. If we are a good fit, we will schedule a 50 minute session.
Our first session will be different from future visits. The initial visit is a period for you and I to further get to know each other and get an idea of how to proceed. Future visits will be more therapeutic in nature.
4. From there we will have ongoing weekly sessions.
In these sessions we will explore symptoms, problems, and/or past traumas. Session 2 to the conclusion of our time together is the healing process—where the well is made.
5. Letting go.
The termination process is typically over 3 sessions. The end of therapy often results in an immense amount of pride from both you and I. It can also feel sad. The therapeutic relationship is a trusting relationship. That is significant. Termination of that relationship no doubt can be a hard one. Therapy is an experience with a long-lasting impact on both you and I. When successful, termination is an opportunity for closure. Together, you and I will take a step back and look at the personal growth that has slowly unfolded over the course of treatment. This is growth that may have gone unnoticed had attention not been called to it
