What to Expect from Therapy
Most important, therapists that understand how difficult the distress that drives people to therapy can be, and how difficult it can be get started. With this in mind, we use a non-judgmental, research-based counseling approach to help clarify what brings you to therapy and what relief would look like for you. Therapy continues with your therapist aiming to gain a full understanding of your current thoughts and feelings in the context of your whole life experience. As our work together progresses you’ll begin to gain new awareness, flexibility in decision-making, and a better understanding of yourself and the people in your life.
A point often overlooked is that a good fit between any client and therapist is critical to the overall success of therapy (in fact, research shows that the inability of therapist and client to form a strong working alliance leads to poor outcomes)- for this reason we invite you to contact us for a free, confidential consultation. We will spend some time with you on the phone to answer questions you might have and to discuss our approach prior to scheduling your initial appointment. Additionally, you can go Here to read useful info about choosing a therapist.
Our therapy work together takes place in a comfortable, private environment and is discreet and confidential. Therapy is a process, and should be far more than a passive venting and listening session. This said, we want every person we work with to experience meaningful change from the first session forward.
