FAQ

Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, but we’re here to make the process simple. First, we’ll discuss logistics—whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions, insurance coverage, and scheduling. Next, we offer a brief consultation to answer any questions and ensure we’re a good fit. Your first session is a chance to share your goals, background, and what’s bringing you to therapy. There’s no pressure—just a supportive space to begin your journey.

Therapy is a personalized journey, and the length of treatment varies based on your needs and goals. Sessions are typically 55 mins. Some clients find short-term therapy (a few months) helpful for specific concerns, while others benefit from ongoing support. We will typically meet once per week or biweekly until symptoms are manageable. Together, we’ll create a plan that works best for you, with regular check-ins to ensure therapy continues to meet your needs.

No, as I am not a medical doctor. Many patients find medication can be helpful, but many of them also progress well in therapy without medication. If you want to be evaluated for psychiatric medication, either contact your primary care physician or a psychiatrist. If you are already taking medication, I am happy to coordinate care with your doctor. I am also happy to help refer you to psychological testing.
