Whether you are new to therapy or not, here are answers to some questions you may have:

• What happens after you contact me?

  • The decision to start therapy is an important one. Therefore, I do my best to return your call or email that same day or within 24 hours.

• How do you know if it will be a good fit?

  • The therapeutic relationship is so important to successful outcomes. I want to ensure that this is a good fit, therefore I offer a 20 minute phone or in person meeting at no cost to learn more about your needs to see if I am the best fit for you. If not, I am happy to provide referrals to assist in helping you find a clinician that can best serve your needs.

• What is needed prior to the first session?

  • After scheduling the first session, I will send you some paperwork electronically and ask you to complete it before you come in. I also ask that you contact your insurance company to ensure that you understand your coverage and any copays or deductibles before we meet.

• What can you expect in the first session?

  • The first session will focus on getting to know you and what brought you to therapy. I will also gather some background information and learn about your expectations for therapy to begin identifying treatment goals.

• How often are sessions scheduled?

  • I strongly recommend weekly sessions in the beginning to establish rapport and to address your treatment goals. I also understand that your work or travel demands may affect scheduling and I will accommodate accordingly. As treatment progresses, we can discuss decreasing the frequency of sessions.
