Some clients like to meet every 2 weeks. Typically we meet the same time each week, reserving that day and time of the week just for you. You will likely experience more noticeable gains when you engage in more frequent sessions, especially in the beginning of therapy.<\/p>\n After goals are met, some clients continue a therapeutic relationship for support by coming in once per month or once every three months, for example. Others choose to work on a new set of goals and continue the same schedule. I will periodically discuss the status of your goals to make sure our work is on track. This check-in helps us determine when goals have been met and whether you may have reached an ending point with therapy.

While it is a body-brain therapy, it involves no physical touching and relies on the strength of the relational attunement between the therapist and the client, the most critical contributor to any therapeutic success. This relational attunement can be easier to achieve through an online video format because I can focus your eyes and face without distraction. It is also easier to track eye movement and facial responses when the eyes and the face appear inches away, much closer than they would be in a face-to-face environment.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”How long are appointments?” open_toggle_text_color=”#242052″ icon_color=”#2E8BAC” open_icon_color=”#2E8BAC” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#242052″ title_font=”|600|||||||” title_font_size=”1.3em” title_letter_spacing=”1px” body_text_color=”#273335″ body_font_size=”1.2em” body_line_height=”1.8em” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0%||||false|false” border_width_all=”0px” border_color_all=”#242052″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n All sessions last 50-minutes.

This is a time and place to receive support, validation, coping skills, and strategies to change your perspective and practice behaviors that better serve you. Therapy can help you tolerate difficult feelings and situations, solve problems, and provide greater piece of mind.<\/p>\n As your therapist I will deeply listen to you as a curious and compassionate witness to you and your experience. You may feel seen, heard, and acknowledged in ways you may never have before. Some clients feel their therapist \u201cgets them\u201d more than anyone else. I will encourage you to find and harness your strengths, resources, and hope, lean into your edges, find and apply practical solutions, and shine a light into dark places to help you make progress in your life. If you are new to therapy, or are exploring unprocessed trauma, therapy may make you feel a bit worse before you feel better.<\/p>\n Therapy cannot change other people or circumstances, yet it can give you the ability to change your own life. Generally the more you show up and engage in your therapy, the more you will get out of it. You are in charge of the process. I am a trusted guide who will open many doorways for you to choose to walk through towards your healing goals. Though I cannot tell you how long it will take to feel better, when we work together I have seen powerful change happen.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Do I really need therapy?” open_toggle_text_color=”#242052″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#2E8BAC” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#ffffff” title_font=”|600|||||||” title_font_size=”1.3em” title_letter_spacing=”1px” body_text_color=”#273335″ body_font_size=”1.2em” body_line_height=”1.8em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Who couldn\u2019t use a trusted and safe person and space with whom to brainstorm, vent, laugh, cry, problem solve, process deep emotions, discover new things about yourself, validate your experiences, find and apply your strengths, heal the past, and change your present for a brighter future? Everyone goes through difficult situations in life, and while you may have successfully navigated many of these, there\u2019s nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it. Cultural messages can tell us that we are weak, dependent, and a loser if we need to ask for help. Often it is far easier to give than receive support.\u00a0<\/p>\n Yet, we are all in this together. When you seek out therapy as a solution, you are making a commitment to take responsibility for your life and change the situation. It does not matter what or who caused the situation nor how long the situation has existed. All you know is that your life is not working as well as you would like and you are ready to do things differently. Whether short or long term, therapy provides lasting benefits and support that is useful at any stage of life.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What can I expect out of therapy?” open_toggle_text_color=”#242052″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#2E8BAC” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#ffffff” title_font=”|600|||||||” title_font_size=”1.3em” title_letter_spacing=”1px” body_text_color=”#273335″ body_font_size=”1.2em” body_line_height=”1.8em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Here are some examples of therapy outcomes:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_toggle title=”Why do people go to therapy?” open_toggle_text_color=”#242052″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#2E8BAC” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#ffffff” title_font=”|600|||||||” title_font_size=”1.3em” title_letter_spacing=”1px” body_text_color=”#273335″ body_font_size=”1.2em” body_line_height=”1.8em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Therapists can provide support, problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies\u00a0for issues such as trauma, anxiety, eating disorders, relationship troubles, unresolved childhood issues, grief, stress management, body image issues, life transitions, and creative blocks. Many people also find that therapists can be tremendously helpful in managing personal growth, interpersonal relationships, family concerns, marriage issues, and the hassles of daily life.\u00a0Therapists can provide a fresh perspective on difficult problems or point you in the direction of a solution.\u00a0The help you obtain from therapy depends on how well you use the process and practice what you learn. Therapy is right for anyone who is interested in getting more out of life by taking responsibility, creating greater self-awareness, and working towards change.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”How can I make the most out of my therapy? ” open_toggle_text_color=”#242052″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#2E8BAC” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_color=”#ffffff” title_font=”|600|||||||” title_font_size=”1.3em” title_letter_spacing=”1px” body_text_color=”#273335″ body_font_size=”1.2em” body_line_height=”1.8em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n For therapy to be most effective you must be an active participant, both during and between the sessions.\u00a0People seeking psychotherapy are willing to take responsibility for their actions, create greater awareness in their lives, and work towards applying new learning towards self-change. This looks different for everyone. Remember, you are in charge of the process!
