There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution for the variety of issues people bring to therapy. It really depends on what you are currently struggling with and what your desired outcome looks like. Clients usually start with weekly sessions to build rapport and address the most pressing issues. As things feel more manageable, we might space sessions out, or, if you've reached your desired outcome, wrap up therapy altogether.
-
I offer an initial paid consultation so we can get a feel for working together. This gives you a chance to ask questions and see if it feels like the right fit before committing to ongoing sessions.
-
That's completely okay. The therapeutic relationship is a key part of what makes therapy work, and it's normal for it to not always feel like the right fit. If that happens, I'm happy to point you toward another provider who might be a better match.
-
You can't make someone go to therapy, but you can invite them in. Rather than framing therapy as a fix for something wrong in the relationship or family dynamic, try to focus on what you hope to gain from attending.
For example, "I'd love for us to have a space to understand each other better," lands better than "we need therapy because you always..."
If they're still unsure or hesitant, you can start individually. Sometimes, one person working on the relationship can influence others to be more open to joining down the line.
-
Avoid framing therapy as a form of punishment or response to a specific incident. Instead, frame it as support: a safe, confidential space where they can talk through whatever they are dealing with. Try to avoid pressuring your teen into therapy, but offer it as a gift.

-
Think about what brought you to therapy in the first place and what you hope to gain from it. Bring any questions you might have about the therapeutic process, my methodology, or specialty areas. The first session is about getting to know one another and making sure this feels like the right fit for you.
