What to Expect
Consultation call:
Consultation calls have two purposes: 1. To make sure that you and I are a good fit to work together, and 2. Getting all your upfront questions answered. I will come with some questions to make sure we’re a good fit and that we’re on the same page. I am also open to answering your questions and talking about any concerns you might have about getting started with therapy.
Consultation calls last about 15 minutes. Easy peasy! Plus, they’re free.
If we aren’t a good fit, I will do my best to get you a referral(s) that could be a better fit.
Therapy sessions:
Even though we will be working online together, you can be assured that I take all precautions to keep our time together private and secure on my end.
I currently only work with clients on a weekly basis. Over the years I have seen that clients that begin/do most of their work biweekly don’t tend to get to their goals they come in with because the work just takes too long. If you feel that this won’t work time-wise or financially, I would be happy to connect you with a provider that could be a better fit in these areas.
We are here to work toward the life you want, so don’t be surprised if we are actively doing things in sessions. These could be practicing relaxation techniques, learning new coping skills, or engaging in other types of exercises. These things will help reach the goals you’ve set, which is why you’re here.
Sometimes, I might give you “homework” for between our sessions. It is essential that we do work both inside our sessions together and in the time between them. Our work is most successful when you practice the skills from our sessions in the real world outside of therapy.
Straight up, sometimes you might meet my dogs. While my space is private from other humans, sometimes my fur babies insist on saying hello.
We are probably going to share some laughs, along with some tears. I think humor is an incredibly powerful healing tool, and so are tears. If it’s an important part of life it’s an important part of therapy, and I don’t shy away when things get real.
