The Therapeutic Experience

Free Consultation

​

Welcome!  I offer a free 45 minute consultation to discuss your needs and how I can support you. Research has shown that the rapport between a therapist and client greatly increases therapeutic outcomes. I firmly believe in working with a therapist that helps you to establish a sense of trust and confidence. If you decide I am the therapist for you I will send you intake paperwork and assessments to prepare for your initial evaluation.

​

Initial Evaluation

​​

In your evaluation, we will spend time getting to know one another, establish the reason behind the referral, and identify potential goals. Depending on the reason for the visit, our first session will most likely be an informal question and answer period, concluding with determination of continued services. Time permitting, treatments and recommendations may be discussed.

 

Treatment Plan

 

Within the first few sessions, an ‘treatment plan’ will be established to help clarify and target your personal goals. The treatment plan is created collaboratively and is updated as treatment progresses. The length of treatment varies, though common practices are weekly for 10-26 weeks. It is not uncommon for some individuals to utilize therapy for longer periods of time.

Therapeutic Process

​

Until one experiences the healing benefits of therapeutic interactions, it is difficult to adequately describe how it is beneficial.
