FAQ
-
Is my therapist going to judge me?
Whether you’ve got an embarrassing addiction or you’re having an affair, your therapist isn’t going to deem you a bad person. Don’t worry. No matter how bad you think your story is, I’ve heard it all before.
My job is to help you come to your own conclusions about what’s best for you. I will not condemn you for your mistakes or shame you for your past.
-
Do I have to talk about my childhood?
No. You don’t have to talk about anything you don’t want to. If you’re uncomfortable with certain subjects or you don’t want to answer some of the questions asked, you aren’t under any obligation to speak.
-
Is online therapy an option?
Yes! in fact, I started doing online therapy long before the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time I only provide teletherapy sessions.
-
How many sessions will I need?
This varies depending on the client! I provide a free 15 minute consultation and we can explore what might be appropriate for you. I utilize many empirically based practices such as CBT and like to work collaboratively and efficiently with my clients.
-
What actually happens during therapy?
I’ll ask you about your day to day life, emotions, or way of thinking. Likely some questions about the past.
You’ll learn specific skills like anger management strategies, communication/conflict resolution, or anxiety reduction skills. Your treatment depends on your goals.
