FAQ
How can you help me?
Therapy is a process of learning, reflecting, and discovering. I can help you process things that you are struggling to let go of, help you recognize patterns of behavior that may be impacting your daily life in a negative way, and gain clarity of your goals. You will learn coping and communication skills, and find more positive resolutions to issues that arise, while changing old patterns of behaviors, and replacing them with new healthy ones.
While working through the therapy process you will likely see yourself in new ways. Often times people see themselves as the problem they are struggling with. The person is not the problem, the problem is! You will learn to unbecome all the things you thought you had to be, or were told to be, and can find your true authentic self, maybe even for the first time.
How do we start?
The first step is to contact me, either via phone (or text), or email. I want to commend you on your courage in taking this first step. Vulnerability is difficult, but so brave! From there we will schedule your first appointment. This is your journey. Together we will navigate your narrative, and help you reach your goals, learning new tools that you can implement into your every day life along the way.
How long does therapy last?
Typically, it is recommended to have weekly sessions (or more if needed). A typical session is 50 minutes, but longer sessions are available. The length of time depends on your needs, and are different for each person.
I (or my child) has an eating disorder, and I want a more comprehensive treatment team, do you work with other providers to do this?
Yes! I work alongside, a local dietician with my eating disorder clients. Once you sign an Authorization for Use of Disclosure of Protected Health Information form, and give written permission, the dietitian, and I can speak about treatment coordination together. This would work with any provider you wish to have a part of your treatment team.
I have had an eating disorder for (X) number of years, is it too late to be able to fully recover?
No! I believe it is never too late! Recovery is always possible. The only time that recovery is not possible, is when you stop trying. I strongly feel that with the right help, and a comprehensive team, if you put in the work, recovery is possible no matter how long you have had your eating disorder.
It has been (X) amount of years since my trauma occured, has it been to long to heal?
It is never too late! The length of time you have been dealing with something, nor the time it has been since your trauma has occurred does not mean you cannot heal.
Is family therapy an option?
Yes!
Is everything we talk about in session confidential?
Confidentiality is essential to providing a safe space, in which the client (you) can feel comfortable. Therapy takes vulnerability, bravery, and a level of trust. In your paperwork, you will receive a copy of your confidential disclosure agreement, otherwise known as informed consent. If your therapist is working with other providers (dietician, general doctor etc.) for a more comprehensive treatment plan, you will need to sign,(and give written permission) an Authorization for Use or Disclosure of Protected Health Information.
Therapists are to maintain confidentiality at all times according to state law, and the professional code of ethics except:
-The therapist suspects the client is a danger to themselves, or others, or has made threats to do so.
-Formerly, or current child, adult, or elder abuse.
