FAQ

Q: What do we talk about in sessions?

A: We either talk about what goals have been set and how they can be acheived or process what stressors have come up in the past week. It is up to you to guide what is discussed in the session on what you believe is the most important to work on. 

Q: How often do we meet?

A: I reccomend starting off with weekly sessions. After some time when goals are being reached, we can switch to sessions every other week in order to have more time in-between sessions to practice skills. 

Q: What is telehealth like? 

A: I use ZOOM PRO, which is a HIPAA compliant platform for virtual counseling. You will be sent a link to enter the session that will be your personal meeting link for all sessions together. 

I prefer virtual counseling because you will be in your home space which is usually more comfortable and offers the special chance to practice skills in the place they will be used most frequently. Our brain likes patterns and consistency, if therapy is done in the home, then most likely you will remember what is said in session, rather than in an unfamiliar environment. You can also have your pet or a comforting item, like a blanket or a hot beverage, in the session that can provide additional comfort.

Q: Do you offer in person sesions?

A: I do not offer in person sessions, only telehealth through Zoom Pro. 

Q: What if you aren't the right therapist for me after we start sessions together?

A: It is common that after starting therapy the client or therapist notices that it just isn't the right fit. This can happen for many reasons, but most often it just isn't a good personality fit or the therapist's modality isn't quite right for the client. If this happens then I would like to help you find referrals for therapists that might be a better fit. My goal in therapy is to help my clients meet their goals and feel better, if I am not the one who can do that, then I want to help find the person who can.
