Therapy Information

Your mind is racing, you feel overwhelmed and as though you can barely hold it together. You feel the pressure of the expectations of others and you live in constant dread of letting them down, or worse being discovered for being a fraud. Even in the quiet of the night your mind races with all the things you need to do and is constantly worried about what you have forgotten, or who you may have let down. You feel powerless to change any of it.

This isn’t you, you are used to being fun, passionate, and excited. You love learning, and engaging in your hobbies and fandoms. The worry, the pressure, the desire to be perfect, have all robbed you of your ability to truly engage with your life. You don’t it to continue this way yet are afraid of what will happen if you let off some of the pressure.

I am here to help you, to be the light in the storm, to help equip you with the psychological tools you need to live your best life. I am in the empowerment business. With our work together I am going to help you learn about how your brain works so that you can work with your brain, rather than against it. You will learn methods of coping with anxiety and ways to activate and engage in your life.

What to expect at your first session

Our first meeting will be an intake interview. Our intake will start with a review of the informed consent and limits of confidentiality. During the intake interview I will ask a wide range of questions so that I can understand you, your history and your reasons for seeking therapy. This session will usually last between 45-60 minuets.

What to expect at Follw-Up Sessions

Your follow up sessions will all be around 45-55 minuets. We typically will start with a check in to see if there is anything urgent we need to discuss. We will then typically move into discussing your therapy homework, how it went and what you observed. We will then start talking through the challenges you are facing. My approach will be a combination of listening, education about the human mind and human behavior, and discussing alternative behaviors to help you reach your therapy goals.

How Often We meet

I like to meet once a week with my clients for about four to eight weeks (depending on the nature of the challenge weekly sessions might go on for longer). Then, once it seems you are doing well, we will start meeting every two weeks, and if the gains are maintained, we then move into monthly check-ins. If you continue doing well we either move into maintenance therapy, where we meet every one to three months, or we terminate therapy. I hope to have most of my clients reaching termination of active therapy in 12 sessions.
