FAQ

Therapy begins with an initial assessment focused on understanding your concerns, history, and goals for treatment. Together, we will develop a collaborative and individualized treatment plan. Sessions are structured yet flexible and adjusted based on clinical need.

The first session includes an intake assessment, discussion of presenting concerns, and goal identification. You may ask questions and determine whether the therapeutic relationship feels like a good fit. No preparation is required prior to the appointment.

Therapy can help with a wide range of things: managing emotional distress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and mental health symptoms. It provides evidence-based strategies to improve coping, insight, and functioning. Client participation inside and outside of sessions is essential for progress.
