Choosing a therapist is a very personal decision. Therapy is only as effective as the relationship between the therapist and client. Therefore, we offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation call to learn more about your individual needs and goals. If you are comfortable moving forward, we will meet for your first session.
Therapy can be very beneficial for several reasons. Therapists can provide support, problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, unresolved childhood issues, grief, stress management, body image issues, and creative blocks. Many people also find that counselors can be a tremendous help in managing personal growth, interpersonal relationships, family concerns, marriage issues, and the hassles of daily life. Therapists can provide a fresh perspective on a difficult problem or point you in the direction of a solution.
Confidentiality is one of the most important components between a client and therapist. Successful therapy requires a high degree of trust with highly sensitive subject matter that is usually not discussed anywhere but in the therapist's office. We provide a written copy of our confidentiality disclosure agreement, and you can expect that what you discuss in session will not be shared with anyone, which is “informed consent”.
However, state law and professional ethics require therapists to maintain confidentiality except for the following situations:
* Suspected past or present abuse or neglect of children, adults, and elders to the authorities, including Child Protection and law enforcement, based on information provided by the client or collateral sources.
* If the therapist has reason to suspect the client is seriously in danger of harming him/herself or has threatened to harm another person.
