How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Therapy is a very personal decision, and I am happy to offer a free 20 minute consult call to help determine if I am the right fit for you.

Ultimately, if there is something you have been struggling with or a part of your life you would like to see change, therapy may be a good place to start.

Do you offer a consult call?

Yes, I offer a free 20 minute consult call to assess if we are a good fit. This give you a chance to meet me a little as well, and decide if I am the counselor for you. There is no obligation to schedule a session from this call, and you can take as much time to think as you would like.

How much is therapy?

I charge $130 for an individual session, and $160 for a couples session.

Limited sliding scale spots may be available, contact me if you would like more information.

What can I expect from telehealth therapy?

Similar to traditional in-person therapy, your therapist will ensure they have a secure, private space to speak with you. You will get to choose your own private space, whether that is a room of yours, your car, or a private outdoor space. I would recommend finding a comfortable area, and feel free to bring a snack and a (non-alcoholic) drink of your choice. Pets are more than welcome (you may see mine from time to time as well)

How should I get ready for my first session?

Before your first session you will receive an intake packet in your email. The intake and consent forms need to be filled out by the day of your first session. Therapy itself can also be emotional or draining at times, having a self-care activity planned for later in the day can help you ground and rejuvenate after therapy. 

How long should I be in therapy?

How long you are in therapy is ultimately up to you, but you should expect a process that can take several months or more.

Therapy is designed to help you recognize different patterns in your life and build skills that allow you to create a way of living that feels affirming and healthy for you. In a weekly hour we will touch base on what your focus is, and how we can address it. Sometimes this is processing difficult emotions coming up, and sometimes it is creating a plan for how to meet daily goals you set for yourself.

Whatever your focus is, it will likely take time to create.
