INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS

Individual therapy typically begins with a diagnostic assessment to fully understand your concerns and identify your exact treatment goals.

On average, this interview lasts 60-90 minutes and I work to understand the meaningful components to your presenting concerns (e.g. your cultural upbringing, identities, family of origin, medications, mindsets, values, behavioral patterns, history of mental health concerns, current relationships).

Most clients work with me for 5-20 sessions, and many see improvements within a couple of sessions.

Individual therapy sessions last 30, 45 or 60 minutes, but we can arrange for shorter or longer appointments depending on your needs.

GROUP SESSIONS

Groups generally include four to eight members. Some time limited, psycho-educational groups and workshops may contain more members. A group that is “building” may begin to meet when there are three members, if the expectation is that the group will be able to recruit an additional member. If, due to clients leaving, the group size goes down to three or fewer members, the group ordinarily is suspended until it can be built up to four or more members.

Groups generally meet for 1 hour based on the groups needs. Group facilitators and members choose together whether to meet over holidays.

Emotional Support Animals

Emotional support animals (ESAs) may help folks with emotional disabilities such as anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress disorder, etc. by providing comfort and support. Any animal can be an emotional support animal. Federal law does not require these animals to have any specific training and you do not have to be physically disabled to have an emotional support animal. However, an emotional support animal requires great care and responsibility and you will undergo an intensive assessment to determine if an ESA may be in your best interest.

“You need so much more than mental health or “well-being” in this era of discrimination, invisibility, and psychological warfare. You need an impermeable web of protection for your mind.”
