What is therapy like?
Every therapy session is unique and caters to each individual and their goals. It is standard for therapists to discuss the primary issues
and concerns in your life during therapy sessions. It is common to schedule
a series of weekly sessions, where each session lasts forty five minutes. For therapy
to be most effective, you must be an active participant. Here are some things you can expect out of
therapy:

- Perspectives to learn from negative behavioral patterns and avoid them
- Real strategies for making positive change
-

No. Studies have shown the combination of therapy and medication together work better than either alone.
Do you accept insurance?
I do not accept insurance and am not a provider for any insurance plan.
