During the first 1-2 sessions, we will discuss the reasons that brought you into therapy. We will address specific therapeutic goals, assess current symptoms (sleep, mood, stress, relationships, etc), and you will also complete a few forms of general information, understanding of confidentiality, as well as a fee agreement.

Depending on your specific therapeutic goals we will discuss the frequency of sessions (typically clients will start coming to therapy once per week, but may only come once every two weeks). The length of time an individual, couple, or family participates in therapy is dependent on their therapeutic needs - for some it may only be 6-8 weeks, for others it may be much longer. All of this will be discussed with each person who attends therapy.

Although I do not accept insurance, I can offer you invoices and diagnostic information so that you may try to file with your insurance to possibly receive reimbursement, which is based on your insurance policy. I would advise any client to check with their personal insurance company for details prior to the first session.
