What should a new client know about working with you?

You may trust that I will be authentic and genuine with you from the beginning as this is an important aspect of therapy. Making that call and keeping that first appointment can be such a hard thing to do, you deserve that honesty and integrity from the start.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

After you first make the call to inquire about meeting or scheduling with me, we sort through the paperwork first. I obtain all the necessary insurance and contact information needed schedule your appointment. Then I make sure you understand the financial responsibility for your care so there is no confusion about this from the beginning so as to not cause added stress. When we begin meeting in person or virtually, depending on your needs and schedule, we start with an intake session where you let me know what is bringing in you in to seek support. During this session, you and I are taking time to get to know one another so you may determine if you feel comfortable enough to continue in sessions with me as your provider. We will move at your pace. It is my job to work for you but to also provide insight and empathy, compassion and challenges at times when fitting. One of the most important parts of counseling is the chemistry between the client and the therapist: if you do not feel you can talk to your provider, you will not feel comfortable or supported. If you feel comfortable moving forward, I may then ask you clarifying questions to gain further baseline information about your life to development an individual assessment. This may include some family and/or personal history. From there we will then develop a treatment plan with your own goals and objectives. These often include ways to explore healthier coping strategies, some educational exploration and processing life experiences, but are all based on your own wants, needs, strengths and challenges. This is YOUR plan, not mine or to be driven by anyone else. From here we will meet anywhere from weekly to every other week to work through your treatment goals as needed, reviewing at least every 90 days for progress. **Please feel free to ask me any questions should any arise about this process. This is a description of a typical intake process, it may vary depending on the type of treatment. **
