Treatment

Free Telephone Consultation

To get started, a free telephone consultation is offered. This entails a brief discussion about your needs and what you may be looking for in terms of treatment or assessment. This will provide you with the opportunity to ask questions about me and the nature of services provided, so that you may have the necessary information required to make an informed decision about moving forward together.

Intake Assessment

An intake assessment is the initial session for clients seeking therapy. The purpose of this meeting is to get to know you and to determine your needs and personal goals for therapy. During the intake assessment, you will be asked questions about your presenting concerns, background history, and current situation. By the end of the session you will be provided with initial impressions and treatment recommendations.

A treatment plan will be collaboratively developed, which will include discussion about what you want to work on, frequency of sessions, length of treatment, and type of treatment approach that will be used to address your concerns. The intake assessment also provides an opportunity to determine suitability of fit. In the event that your needs would be better met in a different treatment setting, appropriate referral options will be discussed and provided.

Therapy Sessions

Therapy sessions are 50 minutes in length. Time together will be focused on addressing your concerns and helping you develop new ways of understanding your problems. We will build upon your strengths and help you develop coping strategies/skills using evidence-based approaches to improve your well-being.

You will be encouraged to practice the skills and strategies between sessions to increase your confidence and sense of self-mastery. We will also assess progress periodically and revisit and revise goals as necessary to ensure that your therapy is moving in the direction that you desire.
