6. Is therapy confidential?
Yes, all sessions are confidential. We adhere to strict privacy and confidentiality guidelines in accordance with state and federal laws, including HIPAA. The only exceptions are situations where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if required by law (e.g., mandatory reporting of abuse).
7. How many sessions will I need?

10. How do I know if therapy is right for me?
Therapy can be beneficial for anyone looking to improve their mental health, cope with stress, work through challenges, or enhance personal growth. If you're unsure, we encourage you to schedule a consultation to discuss your concerns and determine if therapy is a good fit for you.
Modalities
What approaches or modalities do you use?
Highly individualized care means meeting each client where they are. To do this, we pull from a variety of evidence-based approaches. Below is a list of some of our most commonly adopted modalities:
Attachment Theory
Attachment Theory provides a foundation for understanding how early relationships with caregivers shape our patterns of relating to others in adulthood. By exploring these attachment styles, we help clients gain insight into their interpersonal dynamics and work toward building healthier, more secure relationships.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages the acceptance of life experiences as they come, without evaluating or trying to change them. It's a skill developed through mindfulness exercises that help to harness a new and more compassionate relationship with difficult experiences.
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes the importance of emotional awareness and expression. The client is guided in identifying, processing, and transforming their emotions, enabling them to move through emotional blockages and achieve deeper healing.
Client-Centered Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental, empathetic, and supportive environment. By fostering a strong therapeutic alliance, we encourage clients to explore their thoughts and feelings openly, empowering them to find their own solutions and paths to growth.
Object Relations
Object Relations theory believes that early experiences with significant others influence current behavior and relationships. Together, we work to uncover and reinterpret those internalized objects, helping clients develop a more integrated and cohesive sense of self.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
EMDR Therapy addresses trauma and other distressing life experiences by facilitating the reprocessing of traumatic memories. EMDR helps clients reduce the emotional intensity associated with these memories, leading to greater emotional freedom and resilience.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors to improve their emotional well-being.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a form of CBT designed to help people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop coping skills through a combination of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness techniques.
Bibliotherapy
Bibliotherapy uses reading materials, such as books and articles, to help individuals understand and manage their psychological and emotional issues.
