Initial visit
In our first session, I will want to gain an understanding of what prompted you to seek therapy, what you hope to get out of it, as well as an idea of all the pieces of your life and history that create the context for our work together. This session involves some storytelling on your part and some information gathering on mine. By the end of the first session I will have a working diagnosis and we will carve out a treatment path together that gets you feeling better from the very first visit. Initial visits are in the office. |
Return visits
Using the working diagnosis and treatment path from the first session as a starting point, the following sessions will be devoted to making change happen. Our sessions will follow a similar format: check-in, topics on which to focus the session, and next steps. You will get some tools and new ways of thinking about things to take into your life outside of our appointments. Return visits can be in the office or virtual video visits. |
Video visits
No need to figure out how to fit in drive time plus a break from work. No need to figure out child care or how to work around naps or timing feeding sessions. No need to even shower or get out of your pajamas. I conduct video sessions using VSee, a free service that is similar to FaceTime to use, but that is completely secure and HIPAA compliant to protect your privacy. All you need is a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and I will email you the easy instructions.
