FAQ

I’m worried about my child, who is having a hard time. How can therapy help?

Therapy is helpful for many children in various situations. If you are a parent trying to figure out if what your child is experiencing is “normal” or a parent looking for ways to help your child, Therapy will probably be beneficial. Please feel free to give me a call and make an initial consultation where you can explore if therapy is the best option for you and your child.

What age clients do you see?

I work with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school age children, teenagers and adults with a variety of life stories and experiences.

How long will therapy take?

That is a great question! Each individual and family situation is different, but after the first meeting, I will have a better idea of your goals and the estimated amount of time it will take to reach those goals.

As a therapist, are you going to tell me (my family) what to do?

I am here to help you, your child, or your family sort out thoughts and feelings, learn new coping skills and/or identify unhelpful thinking patterns that get in the way of living a fulfilled and satisfying life. I won’t tell you what to do but will support you as you explore your options and change unhealthy patterns.

What happens in the first session?

When you arrive for your initial free consultation, please have a seat in the waiting room. At your appointment time, I will greet you and invite you into a confidential therapy room. I will then invite you to share you or your family’s story and will help you articulate why you are seeking help at this time. If all goes well, we will then decide how often you will for therapy meet and what personalized goals you and/or your family will be working on in therapy.
