FAQ

Therapy requires talking about your primary concerns and issues in your life, and telling your story. Therapy sessions are usually 60 minutes. However, there are times when a longer session is requested. Weekly sessions are encouraged. Sometimes people find themselves in a crisis or greatly distressed and need more than one session per week, or until the crisis diminishes.

The time between sessions is utilized in vivo; allowing you to integrate and process what was discussed during the therapy session. At times, there may be actions introduced for you to complete including, reading chapters in a specific book, and keeping a journal. Therapy requires you to be an active participant, both inside the therapy session and in your outside world.

There are a number of benefits to be found through participation in psychotherapy. Often, just knowing that someone understands and will listen to your story is the most helpful. Therapy helps open the possibility of other perspectives on a difficult situation, or a new direction opens up pointing to a solution. Personal growth, interpersonal relationships, and relationship with oneself, family concerns and the fast pace, eclectic world we live in today are often areas where psychotherapy can be effective.
