F.A.Q.
-
Therapy can be helpful for everyone. Having a safe neutral space to explore yourself is something most don’t even realize they need.
-
Take time reading their website or even ask for a phone consult. When looking at profiles, notice what is standing out to you. What is making you feel more inclined towards certain therapists? I’m a big advocate of finding the right therapist as opposed to the right therapy.
One place to start is to think about who you are and what you need. There are many specialties in therapy and while most therapists and see a variety of clients, you may want someone with a special niche. I specialize in Maternal Mental Health and Adventure Therapy. I also have a significant background in substance abuse. Other specialties can include sex therapy, trauma therapy, eating disorder therapist, and gender-specific therapy.

Yes, that is what makes the space safe. The Code of Ethics, as well as HIPAA, protect what you share in our sessions. You are the client so you hold privilege. If you would like any information about our sessions to be shared (psychiatrist, spouse, etc), then you would need to sign a Release of Information.
There are a few exceptions to privilege which include intentions for self-harm or harm to others, current child, elderly, disabled abuse, or a court order (signed by a judge). If you want clarification on either of these exceptions, I can explain further.

I specialize in Maternal Mental Health so many clients have no choice and need to bring their children to session. Babies in arms are welcomed. Toddlers (walking) are allowed but not preferred as the nature of a toddle is exploration and a small office is not the most optimal "container".
I do off-site sessions as well. Some parents find it easier to go for walk with the kids (babywearing/stroller) rather than have them in the therapy room.
