Will therapy work for me?

The results are of therapy are highly individualized and influenced by many factors. We will discuss some factors early on in the process such as are we a good fit – and adjust accordingly. As time goes on, I will check in on how you are feeling, and give you feedback about my thoughts. Therapy is a dynamic process and if at any point you or I feel that you are not getting what you need, we wil discuss alternative options.

How long will therapy take?

This is impossible to answer in a generic sense as you are your own unique person. For some the reason for seeking therapy is cut and dry, and their concerns can be addressed and resolved in six to ten sessions. For others the reasons may be more complex and take longer. And for some, they come to enjoy the process of therapy and even after their initial concern has been addressed, they choose to continue moving on to other concerns, or using therapy as a tool for personal growth. We will discuss your goals and what makes sense for you as part of the process.
