Frequently Asked Questions
What to expect from the consultation?
During the consultation, clients can expect a focused discussion where we’ll explore the specific challenges you are facing. We’ll talk about your background, what led you to seek therapy, and begin identifying the key areas where you’d like support. I create a safe, empowering, and culturally sensitive space where clients can explore their experiences and concerns for starting therapy. You will be provided with insight on what a typical therapy session would look like and the expectations of therapy. Come prepared with questions, as you’ll have ample time to get the answers you need to confidently begin your therapy journey. By the end of the session, we will establish a plan for moving forward, and you will leave with a sense of direction and an understanding of how we can work together to achieve your goals.
What to expect from individual therapy?
This is your space where you are seen, heard, and supported without judgment. Your journey will be uniquely tailored to you, focusing on what you need most, whether that’s building coping skills, processing difficult emotions, gaining clarity, or simply having a space to express yourself freely.
Each session is an opportunity to deepen your self-awareness, challenge limiting patterns, and develop the confidence to navigate life with greater ease. Some clients come seeking practical solutions, while others are in need of expressing their emotions freely, grieve past losses, or simply be validated in their experiences. No matter where you are in your journey, this is a space where all parts of you are welcome.
Our time together will be filled with moments of insight, reflection, and even laughter. Some sessions may bring a sense of relief, while others may challenge you to step outside your comfort zone. You may experience breakthroughs, uncover new perspectives, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.
No matter where you are in your life, you don’t have to navigate it alone. You will have a compassionate guide by your side, helping you work through challenges, recognize patterns, and take meaningful steps toward the change you desire. The more you invest in yourself, the more growth and transformation you will experience.
This is your time. Your journey. And it starts with you.
What does the therapy process look like?
Consultation
The consultation is designed to be a detailed evaluation, ensuring that you receive the appropriate level of care based on the severity of your concerns. It also allows time for any questions about therapy expectations, the process, and any necessary clarifications. Prior to the consultation, you will receive information via phone about the consultation fee, time frame, and information to complete to prepare for the consultation. This session ensures that therapy is a good fit for your needs and that you feel comfortable moving forward. If you decide to continue, your first official therapy session will be scheduled.
Intake Assessment
Your first appointment includes a comprehensive intake assessment to better understand your concerns, history, and goals. Based on this assessment, the therapist will determine the recommended frequency of sessions and identify some areas of focus for your treatment process.
Treatment Planning
The second appointment consist of collaboratively developing a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This plan includes goals you identify as important, along with those the therapist recommends based on their assessment to best support your progress.
Beginning Your Therapy Journey
With your treatment plan in place, your therapy sessions will focus on addressing your concerns, developing effective coping strategies, and fostering personal growth. Each session is designed to support your progress and help you navigate challenges with greater clarity and resilience.
Where are the sessions located?
I am a licensed mental health therapist practicing throughout the state of New York. I currently work with clients virtually using a secure video conferencing platform.
What can be accomplished from therapy?
The benefits to engage in therapy are endless. A few potential accomplishments could be:
- Gaining a better understanding of oneself
- Figuring out life goals and prospects
- Improving personal relationships
- Developing coping skills
- Enhancing problem-solving abilities
- Making positive changes to problem behaviors
- Boosting self-esteem
As your therapist, I intend to work with you throughout this process and offer new insight to challenges you have been struggling with. Please note that I would not be able to make an official diagnosis to fulfill any court order or prescribe medication.
How do I know I am ready for therapy?
The very thought of considering therapy is a strong indicator that it could be beneficial for you. While the decision to begin therapy is deeply personal and unique to each individual, the initial consultation is a great opportunity to explore this question further and gain clarity on how therapy can support you.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply curious about personal growth, now is the perfect time to invest in yourself. Therapy is not just about addressing struggles. It is also a space for self-discovery, healing, and stepping into your fullest potential. There is no better time than now to start prioritizing your well-being.
