FAQs
-
In the first session, I ask questions to better understand my client’s background and what brought them to therapy. It is also important for me to understand what my client wishes to get out of therapy and why that is important to them. In the following sessions, I work with my client to reach their objectives. Depending on each client’s concerns and goals, therapy can be more or less structured. Please see my Resources page if you would like to learn more about the therapies I offer.
