FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everyone goes through challenging situations in life, and while you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you’ve faced, there’s nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it. In fact, counseling is for people who have enough self-awareness to realize they need a helping hand, and that is something to be admired. You are taking responsibility by accepting where you’re at in life and making a commitment to change the situation by seeking therapy. Counseling provides long-lasting benefits and support, giving you the tools you need to avoid triggers, re-direct damaging patterns, and overcome whatever challenges you face.

Counseling sessions last 45 minutes and include talking about current events happening in your life and your personal history relevant to your challenges. Sometimes I will ask you to complete homework in between sessions and/or practice the tools we cover in the counseling session. This helps to maintain the work we do together and help you see results.

Depending on your specific needs, counseling can be short-term or long-term. It all depends on the challenges you are facing and the severity in which it is impacting your life.
