FAQ
Therapy can be a valuable tool for improving your well-being, but it's essential to remember that its success largely depends on your commitment and effort. By actively participating in sessions and working to address your concerns, you can make meaningful progress. We will guide you in exploring deep-rooted issues, reframing irrational thoughts, and adopting healthier behaviors. When you're dedicated to the process, you're more likely to experience positive changes in how you feel and function.
The duration of therapy varies depending on individual needs and goals. Some clients benefit from short-term therapy, while others require more time to address complex issues. We'll collaborate to establish a personalized plan tailored to your unique circumstances and regularly assess your progress to ensure you're receiving the support you need.
We do accept insurance for therapy sessions.
There are some advantages to not using insurance for therapy, such as increased privacy, no required diagnosis, and the ability to approach your well-being from a holistic perspective rather than focusing on pathology. It's essential to weigh these factors when deciding whether to use insurance for therapy.

Before beginning therapy or coaching, we assess all clients to ensure that we can effectively meet their needs and that they are a good fit for our practice.

This way, we ensure that every client receives the appropriate care and support for their personal journey.
