What to Expect: The therapy process

Step 1
Consultation

Before committing to therapy, you are invited to schedule a complimentary 20-minute consultation. This is an informal conversation. An opportunity to connect and see if working together feels right. There is no paperwork, no assessment, and no commitment. This consultation is completely free and confidential.

  • Share briefly what brings you to therapy
  • Ask questions about the process, approach, or logistics
  • Get a sense of whether this feels like the right fit

Step 2
Initial intake session

If moving forward feels right, the next step is a comprehensive intake evaluation. This session establishes the foundation for the work ahead. If at any point it becomes clear that a different provider might serve you better, an appropriate referral will be provided.

  • Discuss your concerns in depth
  • Explore relevant history and background
  • Identify your goals for therapy
  • Develop an initial treatment plan

Step 3
Ongoing sessions

Following the intake, sessions are held regularly. Most clients meet weekly or every other week, depending on your needs and goals. All sessions are conducted via HIPAA-compliant video. Session length is determined collaboratively based on your clinical needs.

  • Explore the patterns, thoughts, and emotions contributing to distress
  • Identify practical strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning
  • Process difficult experiences and life transitions
  • Examine unhelpful beliefs and develop new perspectives
  • Build skills in emotional regulation, communication, and problem-solving

Step 4
Ongoing evaluation & adjustment

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and what is most helpful at the beginning often shifts over time. Progress is reviewed regularly and the approach is adjusted as needed to ensure the work continues to feel meaningful and effective.

  • Progress is reviewed regularly throughout treatment
  • Approach is adjusted collaboratively based on your evolving needs
  • You remain in control of your treatment at every stage
  • Open conversation about what is and is not working is an essential part of the process
