Common Questions About Your Therapy Session & Questions To Ask A Therapist

There are often many questions when we begin therapy. Here are a few common questions to ask a therapist.

I offer a range of mental health services, including individual counseling, couples therapy, family therapy, and comprehensive intake assessments. My focus is on providing personalized care to address various mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and various relationship issues.
At least 24 hours notice is required if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Failure to do so will result in a late-cancellation fee (e.g. full rate).
Client confidentiality is taken very seriously and is of the utmost importance to ensure the safety and security of a client’s protected health information (PHI), personal well-being, and treatment success. Therefore, confidentiality guidelines, as mandated by law and professional ethics, are adhered to. Information shared in therapy is kept private within HIPAA compliant software and is only disclosed with your written consent or in circumstances required by law (e.g., risk of harm to self or others).

Making the initial contact with a therapist can feel daunting, but I strive to be accessible and make the process as easy as possible. You can schedule an appointment by contacting my office directly via phone or email or by completing a contact form on this website.
We will always have a free 15-minute consultation before we get started. During this consultation we will ensure that I am the right fit for you. If you want to move forward, I will walk you through the next steps of setting up your first appointment.

The first session is considered your “intake session.” During this session, you will have the opportunity to discuss your clinical concerns and goals for treatment. I will structure the session by asking questions to understand your background and current situation, as well as outline the approach to be used in therapy.
Therapy sessions typically last 50 minutes. However, depending on the nature of treatment and individual needs, session length can vary. This will be discussed and agreed upon during your intake session.
Yes, you can bring someone with you to your session if you feel it would be helpful. Advanced notice of any additional participants is kindly requested. If you are attending couples or family therapy, all parties are expected to be present for each scheduled session.

Payment methods accepted include Zelle and credit card. Payments will be made through a secure portal that ensures data security. Payments are expected to be rendered at the time of service.
