Therapy, or psychotherapy, is a collaborative treatment where you talk with a trained mental health professional to work through emotional distress, change unhelpful thoughts/behaviors, and develop better coping skills for life's challenges, promoting overall mental well-being. Therapy is meant to be engaging and intentional - meaning that it depends a lot on your willingness to change and make changes to see positive outcomes.

To get the most out of therapy we encourage you to reflect on your personal goals and be open to collaboration with your therapist. Achieving goals in therapy can take some time, and may require making new decisions and stepping outside of your comfort zone. The important thing to remember is that by expressing yourself and exploring new ways of thinking and behaving, you will gain clarity, new skills and move closer to becoming a happier version of yourself.

Think of this as a "vibe check." It is a no-pressure phone or video chat where you can share a bit about what brings you in, and we can explain how we work. It helps us ensure we are the right fit for your needs. It's also a great way to get answers to your questions or explore some goals with your therapist.

We do our best to accommodate your session and set aside our time to ensure your comfort and accessibility in therapy. To do this we reserve a time slot especially for you and we require a minimum of 24-hours for rescheduling or cancellation of an appointment. If the session is cancelled with less than 24 hours of notice, the full session fee will be charged. If you are late to a session, we cannot accommodate an extension, but we will be happy to meet with you until the end of your scheduled session. Please be aware that the full session fee will be charged if you are late to a session.

We believe effective therapy needs both. You need a safe space to process your emotions (the "venting"), but you also need actionable insights to change your life (the "tools"). Our approach balances deep exploration with practical strategies you can use immediately in your relationships and personal life.

Getting the most out of therapy begins with being intentional about your goals and the work it will take to achieve them. Success in therapy depends on many factors, including your own personal life circumstances, motivation, and the work you do with your therapist. Some people start to feel better relatively quickly as a result of opening up and being honest about their concerns. Deeper level change takes time, and may require working with a therapist for a longer period of time. However, many clients start to feel better and notice good progress within the first 2-3 months of consistent therapy.

No. We understand that sometimes people carry very personal and painful stories that they aren't ready to talk about. We prioritize your agency in therapy and empower you to make personal choices that feel approachable and safe. If you ever need to stop, take a break or simply don't want to discuss a certain topic - your therapist will always understand.
