The decision to seek therapy is very personal and can be for many different reasons. For most, it is because they are dealing with situations that make them feel lost, stuck, overwhelmed, and out of balance. If this seems familiar, you are not alone. Therapy is a great way to untangle confused thoughts and create a deeper, more meaningful quality of life. I also provide a free 15-minute telephone consultation to discuss your concerns and ways we can work together.
As a therapist, I am not legally allowed to prescribe or advise on medication. That is also a very personal decision best discussed under the consultation and direction of a psychiatrist or physician. If medication is something that is decided upon, I can collaborate with your provider (with your written permission) to support your treatment goals.
An individual therapy session lasts about 50 minutes, while couples and family sessions last about 60-75 minutes, to allow everyone the chance to participate.
The number of therapy sessions varies. Generally, one session per week is standard. The number of weekly sessions, as well as the length of time, is based upon what you feel you may need and the goals we set together.
Legally, the relationship between client and therapist is private and information cannot be disclosed without the client's written permission. There are exceptions, however: 1) Mandated reporting: This includes any situation concerning suspected child abuse, dependent adult abuse, or elder abuse. As a mandated reporter, I am required by law to disclose information to the appropriate authorities. 2) Harm to others: If a client threatens serious harm to others, I am legally required to notify both the police and the intended victim(s). 3) Self-harm: If a client makes a serious threat of self- harm. I will first attempt to work with the client as a means to keep him or her safe, but if that is unsuccessful, I will need to involve law enforcement to ensure safety. 4) On rare occasions, client records can be subject to court subpoena for legal purposes. By law, I am required to comply with such requests.
