GETTING STARTED
"One who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones first."
-Chinese Proverb
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
-Marianne Williamson
Research shows that therapy is most effective when there is a strong, solid relationship between client and therapist.
That said, choosing the right therapist for you can have a dramatic impact on your experience in therapy. To help decide if we are a good fit, I offer a complimentary 20-minute telephone consultation to discuss your situation and answer any questions you might have about my practice. If desired, we will then schedule an initial appointment to meet in person, get to know one another better, and explore options for working together. At this first session, I will complete an assessment and will be able to make treatment recommendations based on our conversation and your goals.
Your therapy plan will be tailored to your individual needs. Typically, sessions are 50-55 minutes in length. For couples work, EMDR sessions, or by request, we may schedule longer session of 75-90 minutes in duration. Some people complete short-term therapy in four to six sessions, with resolution for a specific situation or goals. Others have more complex situations that require longer term therapy of six months to several years duration to obtain the best results. As we progress in treatment, we may chose to move to every-other-week or even monthly appointments. For more support or during periods of crisis, we may elect to meet more frequently. Termination of therapy will be discussed openly throughout the process, with the expectation that therapy will end when all goals have been achieved. Of course, clients always have the option to return for additional services at any time in the future.
To get started, give me a call at 720-988-5620. I look forward to hearing from you!
