The length of time therapy is indicated varies for each client. Some issues can be resolved or alleviated quickly but other issues take longer to identify, clarify and resolve.

How can I pay for my sessions?
A variety of payment options are available including direct payment, private insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. Sliding scale payments are also available for uninsured clients.
What can I expect from my sessions?
When you begin any course of treatment, you can expect to meet with a caring and knowledgeable therapist who will put you and your concerns first. You will work toward your goals with expert guidance each step of the way. Whatever struggles you may be having, psychological therapy can assist you in finding greater clarity and offer practical advice and coping skills to alleviate your suffering. Therapy’s ultimate goal is to help you feel better about yourself, your relationships and your life.
Why do people seek therapy?

Therapy provides a safe environment in which to identify issues and find effective ways of coping with life’s challenges.
