FAQ

How do you go about selecting the “right” therapist? +
When selecting a therapist you want that person to be knowledgeable and experienced. Also, you want to feel safe and to a certain degree, comfortable with that person. The “right” therapist will be able to make you feel safe and comfortable while at the same time supporting and challenging you to move in a healthy direction.
How quick/how many sessions will I need? +
Often times someone will come to a therapist looking for a “quick” fix. By the therapist providing a quick fix, the client never really gets to understand the underlying issue. As such, a person will have a tendency to go in and out of therapy for a long time. The role of the therapist is to actively guide the client in learning how to recognize, understand and overcome certain issues. Goals and expectations should be discussed early on and re-evaluated throughout treatment.
How much do you charge? +
Fees are set on an individual basis depending on a variety of different factors. These include type of service, frequency of visits, financial resources, etc.
Do you accept any insurance plans? +
Yes, I know accept....
What is EMDR? +
EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing is a form of treatment that is used to help individuals who have suffered from various types of trauma. The results of the trauma may be that the individual will replay an incident over and over in their mind. These memories and associated symptoms often lead to negative beliefs one may hold about themselves. For example, “I’m not good enough”, “I didn’t do enough”, “It was my fault”. This can then lead to a myriad of symptoms ranging from sleep issues to engaging in repetitive and self-destructive behaviors.
Do you have on-line therapy? +
Not at this time. However, e-mail may be used for scheduling. The issue of the Internet and e-mail will be discussed and agreed upon in the first few sessions.
