Frequently Asked Questions

• Your right to confidentiality is very important to me and is a cornerstone of psychotherapy. The confidentiality between therapist and patient/client is protected by law. There are only a few exceptions to this, such as, but not limited to, in the case that a child, elder, or your life is at serious/life threatening risk. These limitations are detailed in my practice policies that you will receive prior to or at the the beginning of our first session.

• Sessions are generally 50 min. Longer sessions can be valuable in certain circumstances, particularly with couples. If longer sessions would be better for you, we can discuss this together and establish the intention for doing so.

This is a very common, and understandable question. Simply put, there is no predetermined answer. It will depend upon your unique circumstances.

Ultimately, the answer is a personal one. During our work together, I encourage you to often assess the value it brings to you—that will guide our collaborative conversation about the progress you are making, and when is an appropriate time to stop therapy.

Some individuals come to therapy to work on a very specific situation over the course of a limited number of sessions, while others hold therapy as an on-going self care practice. Your needs will dictate what is best for you, and my goal is to meet you there.

I always begin with an initial consultation at no cost so that we can get aquatinted and discuss working together. This gives us an opportunity to get a sense of one another—for you to express what you are needing and what is leading you to seek therapy at this time. It is an opportunity for me to share how I can offer support, as well as answer any questions that you may have. Additionally, we will discuss logistics such as scheduling, fees, frequency, etc. Consultations are held by phone, and generally last about 20 min.
