What To Expect During Your Visit
At various times in life, situations can be difficult to handle alone. Professional assistance may guide a person to become emotionally healthier. These challenges may include:
- Stress/anxiety management
- Depression
- Trauma
- Self-esteem building
- Grief/loss therapy
- Working through fears
- Relationship issues
- Pregnancy, prenatal, postpartum challenges
- Life transition
Individual sessions are 50-60 minutes while couples and family sessions are 90 minutes. Family sessions can include up to six family members.
Initial consultations identify the goals and benefits of future sessions. Matters of confidentiality and financial arrangements may also be discussed during the first visit. If needed, alternative service arrangements can be made for follow-up or referral.
