A Therapeutic Journey
Beginning a journey is often difficult when you are not sure what to expect. Considering the stigma surrounding "mental health treatment", I understand that if you are even considering this process, then you have already made many courageous decisions and are well on your way to happiness. Here, I want to tell you what to expect about the treatment process!
The Beginning
"Treatment" usually begins with a general consultation with a qualified health professional about what's troubling you, explores whether or not we may be a good fit to treat your concerns, and concludes with a discussion on your treatment goals and the approaches that may help you achieve them.
The Middle
​Since there are many human conditions, there is no definitive timeline on the treatment process. During the "middle" of therapy, you can expect to engage in individual, couples, and/or group sessions, where you can expect to learn more about yourself, explore more about theories and techniques that may help you reach your goals, and discuss both progress and impediments towards your treatment goals.
The End
"Treatment" concludes once we have achieved your overall treatment goals and/or you have maintained a level of functioning that makes you truly happy and improved your overall levels of life satisfaction.
Your Treatment, Your Way
As a trauma-informed and person-centered therapist with a wide-variety of clinical and life experiences, you can be confident in two things when you decide to work with us: 1) you will be receiving the care you need to help you address your concerns, and 2) you will learn the skills and techniques necessary to achieve your goals, so that you can live a life of satisfaction with more happiness and better functioning than before!
