FAQ
How can therapy help me?
Therapy is considered an investment in one's own life and well-being. Individuals seek therapeutic guidance for a myriad of motivations, spanning various life stages. Within our practice, each therapist is dedicated to customizing therapy sessions to align with your specific concerns, and both your short-term and long-term objectives. Therapy is not a "one size fits all approach", and what may work for some will not always work for others, so we take the utmost care in developing our interventions around the specific alliance we build with you in session. The overarching objective of our therapeutic process is to enhance the quality of your life, facilitate the discovery of meaning and fulfillment across one or many life domains, and nurture a harmonious state of emotional and mental well-being.

What will the first session be like?
The top priority for any first session is to begin building a therapeutic relationship. Typically, your therapist would like to spend the first session getting to know you, making sure you are informed about the therapeutic process, confidentiality and its limits, fee structure, and general guidelines while also answering any questions you may have. We do encourage new clients to to meet with their therapist for at least 3-4 sessions to establish a solid introductory relationship, and to assess the quality of the therapeutic match should they choose to receive services after their free consultation call.
What is the difference between EMDR and talk therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-focused therapy designed to help individuals process distressing memories and emotions more efficiently. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which primarily explores thoughts, feelings, and patterns through discussion, EMDR actively engages the brain in reprocessing past experiences, reducing their emotional intensity through bi-lateral activation using eye movements, tapping or auditory stimuli while recalling the specific targeted traumatic event. While traditional counseling emphasizes insight, reflection, and skill-building, EMDR provides a structured, results-oriented approach that can accelerate healing from trauma, anxiety, and other emotional challenges. Many clients benefit from combining EMDR with talk therapy for both deeper insight and practical tools for everyday life.
