What is your cancellation policy?
Life happens! We get that. We ask that appointments be canceled (when possible) at least 24 hours before the start time of the session.
If you cancel your appointment 3-24 hours before your session, you’ll be charged a late-cancellation fee of $75.
If you cancel your appointment less than one hour before your appointment time, you will be charged the full session fee.
What can I expect in the first session?
The first session is a time for you and the therapist to get to know each other, identify your goals for therapy, and determine whether you and the therapist are a good fit to work together.
We do not expect every therapist and client to click and get along. If you do not feel that you and the therapist are a good fit, please let us know, and we will find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable!
How long will I be in therapy?
Typical treatment takes anywhere from 6 – 15 sessions, depending on the issues you want to address and your goals.
The greatest determiner of the duration of therapy is your willingness to do the work necessary to create change in your life.
Does anyone cry in front of you?
Most people find themselves crying in therapy. We love it when people feel comfortable enough to let all that pent-up energy out!
Crying is an expression of big emotions, negative or positive, that the body cannot contain. It shows vulnerability and a willingness to be honest with yourself.
Do I have to tell you everything?
It is necessary to tell your therapist the information that pertains to the issues you want to address. Your therapist cannot read your mind.
Information about your past will help them understand how you function and see the world around you. So, the more transparent you can be, the faster you can get to work!
Who benefits from therapy?
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a type of therapy that reconnects the brain to the body. That helps you process past experiences so they no longer affect you in the present.
EMDR does not make you forget painful memories, but it desensitizes the body to negative experiences so that they no longer trigger you in the present.
What are the risks and benefits of doing therapy?
Are you a Christian counselor?
Do couples fight in front of you?
Do you take sides?
No. The only side a therapist takes is the side of healing.
There are times when behavior and mindset need to be challenged, and the therapist is responsible for calling out unhealthy or damaging patterns or behaviors. This may feel like they are taking sides, but it’s actually calling out what’s getting in the way of healing. That’s more for the couple than the individual change.
Do you prescribe medications?
Are you licensed?
We have therapists who are master-level students, meaning they are still in school and learning how to be a therapist.
We also have associate-licensed therapists who have passed the state board exam and received a supervised license.
Finally, we have unrestricted licensed therapists who have gone through their master’s programs, passed the state test, and acquired 3000+ hours of clinical work under supervision.
Do you take notes?
Yes. We are required by law to take notes on all of our sessions. These notes are carefully stored as HIPAA-compliant files.
You are welcome to request your notes from sessions at any time unless you are seen as a couple. In this case, you must have signed consent from both parties for notes to be released.
Do I have to lie on a couch?
Am I allowed to ask personal questions?
Each therapist has a different comfort level with personal questions. That said, we are people, too, and we love to feel like we matter. So, ask away! We’ll let you know if we don’t feel comfortable answering certain questions.
