Yes.

We have clinicians that offer both in-person and virtual sessions. Some clinicians are only offering virtual sessions due to COVID-19.

We ask that you cancel your appointment at least 24 hours in advance. We need to consider the therapist’s time. If you do not show up for your appointment, you will be charged $50 to the credit card on file.

Simply talking about your thoughts and feelings with a supportive person can often make you feel better. Your personal or professional relationships may suffer when you’re not feeling your best. You might find yourself short-tempered with your partner, isolating yourself from your friends, or rehashing the same problems over and over with your family. It can be very healing to voice your worries or talk about something that’s weighing on your mind. Therapists are trained to make sure that you are being heard and validated. They can also advise you on coping mechanisms and strategies to deal with certain triggers.

The therapeutic journey is different for everyone. Some people will come in with a specific situation that they need to process or learn coping skills for. They may be in and out of therapy in a short time. Others, particularly those with C-PTSD, will take time to build therapeutic rapport and be comfortable working through their issues.

Confidentiality means that your therapist has a responsibility to safeguard information obtained during counseling. All identifying information about your assessment and treatment is kept confidential, except as mandated by law. You must sign a release of information before any information about you is given to anyone, except as mandated by law.

Mental health professionals are required by law to reveal information obtained during therapy to other persons or agencies without your consent for cases involving the abuse or neglect of children, potential harm to self or others, proceedings brought on by a client against one of our professionals, criminal proceedings, legal proceedings involving a parent-child relationship, and cases involving a minor. In such situations, the therapist is not required to inform you of their actions.

Your intake paperwork is complete prior to the first session. Your first session is basically an interview. The session will probably involve your therapist asking you questions about yourself, how you cope, and your symptoms. You will also discuss goals and expectations for therapy.
