Individual Therapy
Individual therapy sessions are the most common service I provide. All new clients will go through a therapy intake where we will discuss your background, family dynamics, medication history, drug use/non-use, eating habits, sleep routine, previous mental health history, current problems, and goals. The therapy intake can take anywhere from 50- 60 minutes, depending on the amount of information being covered.
​
After that first therapy intake session, all follow up sessions will be 50 minutes long, and will be geared towards reaching the goals you set. These sessions will follow through with exploring goals, relationships, coping strategies, emotions, thought processes and more!
Benefits
The benefits of individual therapy includes a space for supportive reflection, expanding your coping toolbox and actualizing your goals and plans. Individual therapy is known to help with a variety of mental health issues from major anxiety, depression, personality disorders, mood disorders to more subtle concerns like stress and career concerns. I would encourage you to look into why you are seeking therapy and evaluate your readiness to begin services.
Couple's Therapy
Couples therapy sessions involves a maximum of two persons, romantic or non-romantic, for 60 minutes. The first session, (technically a therapy intake), will be more so about gathering information about your relationship. Concepts like the duration of the relationship, current and past problems in the relationship, any history of infidelity, and argument styles are a few of the topics we will cover in the first session.
​
Follow up sessions will be focused on ways that you and your partner work towards harmony and compromise. We will explore the reasons you want to be in the relationship and how to "make it work". Relationships take effort and work on both parties, and therapy is not always a guarantee the success of a relationship.
Benefits
Couple's therapy allows partners to come to understand each other's needs. Couple's therapy is not designed to give you and your partner "homework" that, let's be honest, you will not do. Instead, we will all work together as a group and design plans around the specific goals you want to reach in your relationship. My role as your therapist will be to remain unbiased and non-judgmental while navigating the hardships in your relationship.
Family Therapy
All family therapy sessions, including follow-ups, are 60 minutes long. Family sessions must include three or more persons, (max 6), that share a family dynamic. I welcome all families, regardless of ethnicity, culture, race, religious views etc. My ultimate goal when working with families, is to help encourage each family member to be vulnerable and open with one another.
The family dynamic is often identified as a single unit, and we tend to forget about all of the individuals that make up that unit. You all have your own unique and distinct qualifiers that set you apart from each other. The trick is figuring out how to get all of those different personalities to work harmoniously we each other, instead of against one another.
Benefits
The obvious benefit of family therapy is creating a more peaceful family unit, by honoring all of the individual that keep the "machine" moving. The not so obvious benefits of family therapy are the discoveries of those individual qualities that you come to love about one another. You may also uncover your own biases, intolerances, and power struggles that keep you in a state of imbalance and anxiety. Family therapy can be just as revealing for the individual as it is for the family as a unit.
