 FAQs

  • I offer a hybrid model with in-person and teletherapy sessions based on your preference and therapist availability. Teletherapy uses a HIPAA-compliant video platform.

  • A therapy session typically lasts 50-80 minutes, varying by therapist and services. The duration of therapy varies for everyone; some may need just a few months after a significant stressor, while others may require more time to address deep-seated patterns. Communication with your therapist is key to deciding when to conclude therapy.

  • Therapy is unique for everyone and often includes "homework" with tools and exercises to practice outside sessions. The goal is to create change in your life, so we hope you integrate elements from therapy into your daily routine, whether or not you’re actively doing additional work.

  • The effectiveness of therapy largely relies on the therapist-client relationship, regardless of approach. To find a good fit, consider what helps you build trust and openness. It's also important to choose a therapist skilled in your specific issues. If I can't assist you directly, I’ll help connect you with a suitable therapist in the community.

  • No, I don’t but with your permission, we collaborate with prescribing physicians for comprehensive care.

  • Counseling sessions are confidential except in these situations:

    • Suspected child or elder abuse

    • Reasonable suspicion of danger to others

    • Risk of self-harm without protective measures

    If your treatment is mentioned in court, your therapist may have to disclose details if subpoenaed. You can either waive or invoke privilege, but a judge may still order your therapist to release information. Occasionally, sharing information with other healthcare providers can be helpful, and you'll need to sign a release to authorize this.
