How Therapy Works

Therapeutic Relationship

It’s important to find a therapist with whom you connect and feel safe. Searching for a therapist can take time. This process can be easier if you’re clear with what you’re looking for and what you’d like to work on in therapy. You may find it helpful to hop on a consult call to see if you click with and feel comfortable with the therapist’s style.

Structure

How therapy looks depends on what you’re struggling with, the intensity, and your level of motivation. You may need quite a bit of support to start off with. This can look like weekly or twice weekly sessions. As you begin to heal and have improved tools and self-regulation you may want to meet less frequently. And some enjoy meeting once or twice a month for check-in sessions. If you are clear with your intention for session and prepare perhaps by journaling, we can work efficiently and effectively together. We will determine the level of support needed in our first few sessions.

Therapy sessions are 50 minutes and conducted via phone or zoom Monday through Thursday for residents of California and, temporarily, Vermont.
