Is therapy right for me?
Is therapy right for me?
If you’re in an emotional crisis, you are probably not asking this question. This question comes from someone who feels an emptiness or an imbalance and wants to know what to do about it. So a better question might be, is this the right therapy for me? Is this where I can find a fuller, happier life? Therapy can go far beyond problem solving, to an awakening of your potential.

The general framework is simple. When we agree to work together, we will set up a schedule of regular meetings and agree on a goal you want to achieve. Usually a session lasts fifty minutes. Each client has their own treatment plan to fit their needs.

How can therapy help me?
Many people think of therapy as just for those who are in some way ill. It can be so much more. We develop new ways of looking at, and handling, problems; we focus on managing stress and widening your support base. Many people come to therapy to work out old issues that still hamper them, or to work through unresolved grief. Problems in marriage or in other relationships respond well to the presence of a third, trained party. Ultimately, therapy can help you be your best self.
Is therapy confidential?
Is therapy confidential?
Therapists are ethically and legally constrained to not even acknowledge that you are my client unless you give me written permission. You may say anything, with confidence that I will not repeat it, EXCEPT that the law requires me to report the following potential dangers:
Suspected child abuse or dependent adult or elder abuse. I am required to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person. I am required to notify the police.
If a client intends to harm himself or herself, I will make every effort to work with the person to ensure their safety. However, if an individual does not cooperate, additional measures may need to be taken.

There is no average length of treatment. Everyone has their own unique journey of recovery. It is not about perfection, but rather about progress. As you progress through treatment, you will know when the work is done.
