OUR TREATMENT APPROACH

  • During your initial appointment, your clinician will gather information about your presenting concerns, background, and personal goals in order to formulate a bespoke plan to meet your specific needs. From there, she will be able to better determine what type of treatment approach is right for you, what it will entail, and what it will look like for you in terms of fitting it into your day-to-day life. In addition, you may receive a series of actions to complete outside of sessions, such as practice a certain technique, or read a specific book, as it is important you take an active role in your own healing process. At the end of your initial session you will discuss the frequency of subsequent sessions and review any further questions you may additionally have.

Receive email notifications for new secure messages, billing statements, and intake paperwork through our secure HIPAA-compliant Client Portal.

During your initial appointment we will work to understand your needs and concerns, discuss recommendations regarding the frequency of sessions and appropriate approach for your situation.
