Q: What is the purpose of seeking counseling services?                                  

People seek therapy for many reasons, each unique to their personal journey. Therapy provides a reliable, supportive space to navigate life’s challenges and enhance emotional well-being. Some common reasons individuals seek services include:
Relationship difficulties
Grief and loss
Anxiety or depression
Child/adolescent behavior struggles
Experiences of violence or abuse

Whether you're facing a specific hardship or simply seeking personal growth, therapy can empower you with tools, insight, and support to move forward.

Q: How much is a session?       

Session fees vary depending on insurance coverage or private pay rates. During scheduling, pricing options will be discussed with you to ensure transparency.

Q: How many sessions do I need to attend?    

The number of sessions you will need depends on your unique goals, challenges, and progress in therapy. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Your therapist will work with you to determine the right pace and duration based on your needs. Some people find short-term therapy helpful for addressing specific concerns, while others prefer ongoing support for deeper personal growth. Ultimately, the decision is yours, and your therapist will guide you in finding the best path forward.

​Q: What can I expect from a session? 

Each therapy session typically lasts between 45 and 60 minutes. During this time, you’ll have the space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a supportive environment. Your therapist may ask questions to guide the conversation, helping you gain new perspectives and identify solutions that align with your personal goals. Rather than offering direct advice, therapy encourages self-reflection and growth, allowing you to uncover insights and develop strategies that work for you. Most importantly, your therapist will provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.  

​Q: What is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing)?

After watching the video, your therapist can provide more information.

Q: What if my partner does not want to attend?    

If your partner chooses not to attend joint sessions, you can still begin or continue therapy on your own. Individual sessions can help you process your thoughts, strengthen communication skills, and navigate relationship challenges independently. While your partner may not be ready now, they are always welcome to join in the future when they feel comfortable. Therapy can be beneficial whether attended alone or together, and your journey of growth and healing is valuable either way.

Q: Will the things I talk about during sessions stay private?

Yes, confidentiality is a fundamental part of the counseling process, ensuring that what you share remains private and protected. However, there are certain situations where therapists are legally required to break confidentiality for safety reasons, including:
Suspected abuse or neglect of a child
Suspected abuse or neglect of an elder
Imminent danger to yourself or others

Outside of these circumstances, your sessions remain completely confidential.
