Question 1

Do I Have to Have a Specific Issue to Seek Therapy?

Accepted Answer

Not at all!  Therapy is a valuable space for personal exploration and self-improvement. You don't need to have a specific problem; you can seek therapy to enhance your overall well-being and gain insights into your life.

Question 2

What Can I Expect Starting Therapy?

Accepted Answer

The first session is about getting comfortable with the process and getting to know you. You’ll be able to tell me a little more about what you hope to gain from therapy as well as your expectations about the therapeutic process. Sessions typically last around 50 minutes to an hour. The frequency of sessions depends on your individual needs and goals, which we will discuss and determine together.

Can I be reimbursed for private pay sessions?
