We provide a range of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness-based therapies, and psychodynamic approaches. Our therapists tailor the approach based on your specific needs, concerns, and preferences.
How do I know if I need therapy?
Everyone benefits from therapy at times. You may consider seeking therapy if you're experiencing persistent sadness, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, grief, or challenges coping with life changes. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unable to function as you used to, therapy can provide valuable support and tools.
What should I expect in my first session?
Your first session is typically an opportunity for us to get to know each other. You'll have the chance to share your concerns and goals for therapy. Your therapist will listen attentively, ask clarifying questions, and explain their approach. This session focuses on building rapport and establishing a safe foundation for your therapeutic journey.
How often are therapy sessions?
We offer flexible scheduling, but typically, therapy sessions are held weekly (e.g., every Monday or Wednesday) for the initial phase of treatment. The frequency may be adjusted based on your progress, needs, and goals, with options for bi-weekly or other schedules as appropriate.
Is therapy confidential?
Absolutely. Therapeutic confidentiality is a cornerstone of our practice. All conversations and information shared during sessions are confidential. Your therapist will discuss confidentiality limits with you during your first session, including exceptions required by law (e.g., threats of harm to yourself or others).
