Therapy can be one important tool on your path to wellness. Certain types of therapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, are well researched to show positive outcomes for a wide range of clinical disorders. I believe in utilizing evidenced based practices, while at the same time supporting you as an individual in your healing journey. How do I know if you are the right therapist for me? The best way is to give me a call and we can ask each other questions to see what we think. It is normal to speak to a few different therapists before feeling confident in your choice. It is also normal to meet with a therapist in person and then decide if they are the right one for you. I’m happy to answer any questions on a free consultation call. Do you take insurance? I am currently contracted with Lyra Health for those that have this benefit. Otherwise, I am considered an “out of network” provider. This means the client pays me directly, and I can provide superbills that the client may then submit for possible reimbursement. Check with your insurance about this as all plans are different. What is the first session like? The first session is called an intake, and typically in this session I like to gather a bit about your history, hear why you are coming to therapy and what your goals might be. I will usually share how I think therapy and my approach may be of benefit to you. This can sometimes last longer than one session, but after that we jump in. How long does therapy take? This is impossible for me to predict until we’ve met for an intake, and even then I’ll give you my best guess. What I can say is that my theoretical orientation typically functions on a shorter term basis. Some people find enough benefit after 10-12 sessions, and others may find they would like longer therapy to work on deeper issues. This is something we continue to address as we work together. Do you involve parents or caregivers when treating children? I insist on it. Unless there is a clinical issue where this would be contra-indicated, parents and caregivers are actively involved in the therapy process. You are the one with your child throughout the week, you know them best, and you will be the ultimate supporter of their growth. Typically the younger the child is, the more involved the parent will be. Children under age 6/7- parents are involved in almost every session. Teenagers typically function more like adults- sessions are held individually with occasional parent involvement as deemed appropriate. More questions? Give me a call and I will make sure I get your questions answered. https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2025-05-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-1 daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-2 daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-3 daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-4 daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-5 daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-ls2zh daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-tmrje daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-6rkjb daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-l8paj daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-axwyf daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-4jkyg daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-cz6zp daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-stzzx daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-mk5rw daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-l5ha4 daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-2h4xb daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-5mf4c daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-xn5t8 daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-7ajke daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-2zmm5 daily 0.75 2021-08-22 https://www.counselinglb.com/contact-us-3fsed daily 0.75 2021-08-22
