Frequently Asked Questions

Who do you provide therapy for?

We provide therapy for older elementary children, adolescents, and adults. We work with individuals, couples, and families to help join and heal personal struggles and family relationships. 

What types of therapy do you offer?

We take a client-centered approach to healing. This means that we focus on your specific goals when discussing the best method of treatment for you. Our approach is custom-tailored for your situation. We use therapeutic methods such as CBT, Psychodynamic, Family systems, IFS, and other therapies to help guide your process of healing and change.

Do you offer parenting support?

Absolutely. Parenting is at the core of healthy children and thriving families. We support parents to evaluate their current parenting, explore new goals, and take steps towards improved boundaries, relationships, and confidence in their crucial role.

Do you offer online therapy?

Yes. We offer secure, HIPAA-compliant online therapy sessions via video call, making it convenient and accessible from the comfort of your home.

What if I'm not sure if therapy is right for me?

If you're unsure about therapy, we offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your concerns and determine the best approach for your needs.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions needed varies for each individual and will be discussed with your therapist.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes, therapy sessions are confidential, and your privacy is our top priority.

What can I expect during the first session?

The first session is typically an intake appointment. We’ll discuss your goals for therapy, background information, and any specific challenges you’re facing. It’s also a chance to see if we're a good fit for your needs.

How long is each session?

Most therapy sessions last about 50 minutes. Some sessions, such as couples or family therapy, may be slightly longer depending on the need.

How often will I need to come to therapy?

Frequency depends on your needs and goals. Most clients start with weekly sessions and adjust as progress is made. We’ll work together to develop a plan that works for you.

What are your fees? Do you accept insurance?

Professional fees are $175 per 50-minute session. While insurance is not currently accepted in network, we can provide superbills for out-of-network insurance reimbursement. 

What if I need to cancel my appointment?

We have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you need to reschedule or cancel, please notify us at least 24 hours in advance.

Will I be involved in my childs therapy?

Depending on the specific situation and the agreed upon goals of therapy, parental involvement such as regular joined sessions can be a helpful part of supporting your child through their process.

Will I be informed during my child’s therapy?

Yes, parent involvement is an important part of therapy for children and adolescents. While we provide your child a safe, private space to express themselves, we also keep you informed about general progress, goals, and ways you can support your child at home. We’ll schedule regular parent check-ins to share updates without breaking your child’s trust. 

What do you tell parents about what happens in session?

We maintain confidentiality with children just as we do with adults to build trust and therapeutic rapport. However, we always inform parents of safety concerns or significant issues. We also encourage open communication and can share general themes or strategies being used, while protecting your child’s privacy unless there’s a risk of harm. We believe that the parent-child relationship and bond are key to progress and healthy growth.
