Counseling
What to expect
Clear beginnings. Fifty-minute sessions. Homework is often part of the work.
Counseling is a conversation with a purpose. You bring what is happening. Together you look at the patterns that keep the problem in place, and you practice new ideas for old problems.
Sessions are 50 minutes. A free phone consultation is available before you schedule, if you would like to ask questions first.
Couples therapy
- Couples therapy starts with weekly sessions.
- The intake is a couples assessment — both of you, together.
- Then each partner has an individual session.
- After that, the work continues as a couple.
Individual therapy
Individual therapy starts with an assessment. Frequency is decided together. Some people meet weekly at first; others find a different rhythm once the work is underway.
Homework is often given. The hour in the office is one part of change; what you practice between sessions is the other.
