FAQs
What can I expect at my first session?
We will meet at my office or through a confidential online platform for 55 minutes. I’ll invite you to share what brought you in for counseling and what you’re hoping to get out of it.
We may discuss other aspects of your life or history so I can develop a greater understanding of your circumstances. You can share as much or as little as you’re comfortable with.
If I seem like the right fit for you, we’ll spend the last five minutes scheduling another appointment. If, after this meeting, you or I feel we cannot work together, I will help you to connect with another therapist who works well with your concerns.
How Can I tell if a Therapist is the right match for me?
Therapy outcomes are strongly influenced by the relationship and rapport you have with your therapist. It’s important that you feel comfortable and able to trust your counselor.
Ideally, you would feel as though your counselor respects your autonomy, doesn’t judge you or your past, listens attentively, and seems capable of helping you with your reason for coming to counseling. You will likely have a sense of this when you first meet a counselor, but sometimes it does take 2-3 sessions before you can really tell if it’s a good fit.
Are Telehealth Sessions Right for me?
Telehealth sessions are a great option for those with limited time or transportation challenges. Some people also prefer to be in the comfort of their own homes for therapy. You may choose to do all or some of your sessions through telehealth. Telehealth sessions may not be a good fit for you if you’re experiencing severe mental health symptoms, such as suicidal thoughts.
How long does therapy take?
How long therapy takes depends on many factors, such as your primary concern, motivation for engagement and change, and external factors. Some people find that three months is enough to resolve their concern, while others find therapy useful and necessary for a year or longer.
Many people find therapy to be a steady resource throughout their lives, checking in periodically over the years as new life changes occur or new concerns arise.
I feel like I have my problems under control. Do i Really need therapy?
Since you know yourself best, only you’ll know whether it’s the right time to start therapy.
When our lives are plagued by many stressors, such as relationship problems, school or work stress, or trauma, it might be more obvious to us that we could benefit from counseling.
Other times, when our lives are relatively stable, we may not feel the pressing need for counseling; however, this is often a great time to start counseling. As JFK put it, “The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.”
