Therapy Process
Therapy Methods Used
It’s helpful to know how the therapy process works before you commit to it. This way you have clarity about what to expect.
STEP 1
Free 15-Minute Phone Consultation. During this complementary consult, we will discuss the following:
• The specific issues that you are faced with
• Your best hopes and goals for therapy
• When and how you will know that you have achieved these goals
• Therapeutic styles and how therapy will be delivered
• Review your questions
• Schedule your first sessions/initial assessment
If we decide to work together, you will be provided access to a digital Initial Paperwork Packet to complete online before your first session.
STEP 2
First Session will be allocated to an Intake Assessment: During your first session, we will dive deeper into what we discussed during the initial phone consultation. I will ask you more detailed questions so I can really understand what you are struggling with and are looking for help with in therapy. I will then make sure we are a good fit to work together and that I can help you before we schedule more sessions.
STEP 3
Schedule Therapy Sessions: Therapy is scheduled typically weekly for 60-minute sessions to provide consistency and to keep moving forward with achieving your goals. Sessions can be in person or online, based on your preference.
STEP 4
Ending Therapy: We create your goals and discuss how and when you know that you have met your goals during our first session together. We will regularly check in about your progress towards your goals. My goal is for you to achieve your goals and move on from therapy!
