Individual Therapy
Personalized, one-on-one support to help children, teens, and adults process emotions, build resilience, and create lasting positive change in their lives.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What will happen in my therapy sessions?
Your therapy sessions will be unique to you, the issues you’re struggling with, and your goals. Your therapist will use various methodologies to help you address the root causes of the issue you’re facing, develop better coping mechanisms, and increase self-awareness.
How long will my therapy last?
The length of therapy depends on your individual challenges, needs, and goals. For some, short-term therapy is sufficient, but others may require longer-term support.
How frequently will I need to meet with my therapist?
It varies depending on your individual treatment plan. Weekly sessions are the most common. But depending on your specific situation, multiple sessions per week may be helpful. With time and progress, sessions will happen less frequently.
Is everything I tell my therapist confidential?
Yes, therapists are legally bound to protect your privacy by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). There are a few exceptions in extreme circumstances, such as imminent risk of harm to yourself or others. Otherwise, everything you say to your therapist is completely confidential.
