FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I’m really nervous about starting therapy, what can you tell me that will help me feel more comfortable?
It is SO normal to feel nervous about starting therapy! I would say it’s actually more common that new clients feel nervous when we meet for the first time than not. Because of this, I do everything I can to help keep things comfortable. Most client’s have told me that after the first session they feel completely relieved and excited that they finally did it and look forward to the work ahead.
How often will we meet?
Most client’s find they get the most benefit from meeting weekly, especially if they are new to therapy. That being said, it’s truly up to you how often you would like to meet.
I do my best to offer clients a standing appointment that they can rely on, whether that is weekly, bi weekly or monthly is up to you.
I will with check-in with you along the way to see how the cadence feels and we will make adjustments as necessary.
What if I don’t have a private space for my session?
It was been amazing to see the ways client’s have adapted to telehealth! I meet with folks in their cars, walk-in closets, open outdoor spaces, conference rooms at work, to name a few. If this is what is preventing you from engaging in therapy, feel free to shoot me an email and we can put our heads together to figure something out.
Do I have to tell you everything?
There is no expectation on my end what we will cover. For most clients, the pace of therapy mirrors the trust and rapport that is built, which takes time.
