Frequently Asked Questions
Psychotherapy is a collaborative process that helps individuals explore emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to improve their mental well-being. I use research-backed approaches to help with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and personal growth.
Therapy sessions are 50 minutes long. For individuals interested in EMDR Intensive sessions, those extend to 80 minutes.
It is typically recommended that sessions take place weekly at the beginning of treatment. However, it is also understandable that this is not always possible for people. Feel free to ask more about this during the consultation call.
A typical hour-long therapy session is $185. Extended EMDR Intensives cost $260.
The honest answer is that it depends. I have finished treatment with people in as few as five sessions. I have also worked with people for six-plus years.
A person with a complex history of trauma, for example, may naturally need more time to work through everything than somebody who is at the start of their first struggles with mental health. The client’s goals for treatment matter in this, too.
Absolutely. Your records are private when you come to therapy.
I work exclusively over telehealth at this time. I use a software called Simple Practice, which offers video similar to Zoom, as well as a one-stop shop for billing and downloading any therapeutic documents I send you.
Thanks to the pandemic, we have enough research to show that telehealth can be just as effective as in-person for many people. It also allows greater access to care for folks that might otherwise have a harder attending appointments regularly.
During our free initial 15 minute consultation call, I will briefly introduce myself and my style. I then ask to hear a little bit more about you and what brings you into therapy. Finally, I answer any questions you might have and talk about logistics.
