Frequently asked questions
01 What guides your approach to counseling?
We believe therapy works best within a supportive, collaborative relationship. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches tailored to each client’s concerns, strengths, values, and goals.
02 How do you help clients find the right therapist?
When you contact us, our staff will ask for basic information about your needs, scheduling preferences, insurance, and whether you prefer in-person or telehealth sessions. We’ll then help identify a therapist who may be a good fit and has current or upcoming availability.
03 What can I expect from my first appointment?
Your first session is an opportunity to discuss what brings you to counseling, ask questions, and identify initial goals. Your therapist will explain their approach and work with you to plan appropriate next steps.
