What is therapy?

What is psychotherapy? Psychotherapy, also known as counseling, is designed to help people with everyday problems, struggles in their interpersonal relationships, and sometimes heal deeper psychological pain. In our practice, we often see ordinary people who have become stuck when faced with a difficult situation.

Is it normal to be nervous about contacting a psychotherapist? Yes. Many people worry about being judged or misunderstood. Others worry that the therapy won't really help. Often that feeling subsides after the initial session and you get to know us. It is very important to us that you are comfortable with your therapist. We are happy to answer your questions.

How do I choose a therapist? Please find out more about each of us on our "About Us" page. You are welcome to call, email or text us. You can use the contact page to reach out to us.

How can psychotherapy help? Psychotherapy may help you:
- Make well informed decisions regarding your relationships, career, etc.
- Manage stressful life situations or transitions
- Increase your capacity for intimacy
- Mourn the loss of a loved one
- Foster awareness, compassion and forgiveness
- Overcome anxiety or depression
- Experience greater pleasure in life
- Learn new coping skills
- Make better use of your abilities

How long will I need to be in therapy? We work efficiently and effectively to help our clients resolve their challenges. Everyone's needs are different and the length of therapy depends on the complexity of the challenges you are facing.

How long are the appointments? Psychotherapy appointments are typically 50 minutes long. Sometimes a 50 minute session is not enough and it is necessary to have a session and a half or even a double session. We are happy to offer this service when needed. We are willing to provide invoices so that you may submit them to your insurance for possible reimbursement for your sessions.

How can I make the most of psychotherapy? Psychotherapy works best when you feel comfortable with your therapist and can openly share your thoughts and feelings. This way we can accurately assess what the problem is and where things can change.

Fees: $200 for 50 min (we do not accept insurance but we can give you an invoice for your sessions to submit)

Cancellations: We kindly ask that you give 48 hours notice to cancel your session. That way we can offer your spot to another client. Full fees will be charged if sufficient notice is not given.
