Your First Visit
Your initial appointment is a time for us to get to know you and understand what brings you to therapy. During this 60-minute session, we'll discuss your goals, concerns, and develop a preliminary treatment plan together.
Ongoing Sessions
Most therapy sessions are 53-60 minutes long and scheduled weekly for an expected period of 3 months. We believe in a collaborative approach where you're an active participant in your healing journey.
Confidentiality
Your privacy is paramount. All sessions are completely confidential, with information only shared with your written consent or as required by law for safety purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If you're experiencing persistent sadness, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or feeling stuck in life patterns, therapy can provide valuable support and tools for change.
How long does therapy typically last?
This varies greatly depending on individual needs and goals. Some people benefit from short-term therapy (about 12 sessions), while others engage in longer-term work.
Do you prescribe medication?
Our therapists and counselors do not prescribe medication, but we work closely with psychiatrists and primary care physicians when medication evaluation is needed.
What if I need to cancel an appointment?
We ask for 24-hour notice for cancellations to avoid a cancellation fee.
