Question 3

What is the first session like?

Accepted Answer

Going to therapy the first time can be intimidating and relieving all at the same time. Our first session begins with you sharing some of your story and what brought you to counseling. You might spend a lot of time talking or asking questions. 
 
I'll listen to you and together we'll begin to explore some of the issues effecting your situation. Towards the end of our session, we'll make a plan for future sessions and moving you along in your healing.

Question 4

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

It's difficult to say. Most clients spend 1-2 years in therapy, but sessions usually come in chucks of 6-8 weeks. I want to work with you and your finances to get you the best care possible.

Question 5

Is what I say confidential?

Accepted Answer

Everything you say is completely confidential. I won't be sharing it with your spouse, parents, pastor, or employer. What is said between us, stays between us. Of course, I do care about your safety. Anytime I feel that you and someone else is in danger, I am obilgated to let the proper people know.

Question 6

How does the sliding scale work?

Accepted Answer

A sliding scale is a reduced rate offered to clients when there is a financial need so that therapy is more affordable.
 
If you would like to start therapy, but finances are limited, please contact me about my sliding scale availability. If my sliding scale slots are full, I can put you on a waiting list until a spot opens up, or provide you with referrals to other therapists that might offer a reduced rate.
