What is your approach to therapy?
Our approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. We draw from evidence-based models like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. Our goal is to provide a supportive space where you can explore challenges, build stronger connections, and achieve meaningful growth.
How long are sessions?
Sessions typically last 50 minutes, but extended sessions (75–90 minutes) may be available for couples or families who need additional time.
How much do sessions cost?
The cost of a standard 50-minute session is $150. We also offer sliding-scale fees based on financial need. Please contact us to discuss payment options.
Do you accept insurance?
We are an out-of-network provider for most insurance plans. However, we can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
Is what I share in therapy confidential?
Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy. Everything you share is private, except in situations where there is a legal or ethical obligation to report, such as concerns of harm to yourself or others.
How do I schedule an appointment?
You can schedule an appointment by calling our office, emailing us, or using the online booking system on our website. We’ll work with you to find a convenient time for your first session.
Do you offer telehealth sessions?
Yes, we offer secure telehealth sessions for clients who prefer the convenience of meeting from home. All you need is a private space and a reliable internet connection.
What are your qualifications and experience?
Our therapists are licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) with years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families. We also pursue ongoing training to stay current with the latest therapeutic approaches.
Do you work with children, LGBTQ+ individuals, or specific cultural groups?
Yes, we welcome clients from all backgrounds and walks of life. Our therapists have experience working with children, LGBTQ+ individuals, and clients from diverse cultural and religious communities.
What can I expect in the first session?
In your first session, we’ll discuss your goals for therapy and any challenges you’d like to address. This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and ensure we’re a good fit. Together, we’ll create a plan tailored to your needs.
Do I need to bring anything to the first session?
There’s no need to bring anything specific. If you’ve completed intake paperwork, bring that along. Otherwise, just come as you are, ready to share what’s on your mind.
