INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
I am likely a match if you are looking for treatment that focuses on:
Sleep Difficulties (including Insomnia)
Managing Chronic pain
Coping with Medical Illness
Depression
Anxiety
I am likely not a match if you are looking for treatment that focuses on:
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
Mania
Substance Use
Alcohol Use
My treatment is based on weekly or biweekly sessions, based on the patient's and my availability and what is most appropriate for the patient's treatment goals. I find that treatment is most effective when we start with regular sessions because it allows us to build on our work consistently and provides patients opportunity to actively practice strategies and skills between sessions. Once we have achieved the patient's goal(s) we may discuss completing treatment or tapering down session frequency. For instance, some patients shift to meeting with me monthly or between longer intervals to practice independence in maintaining their gains.
Steps for Treatment:
-
Contact me to schedule a complimentary 15 minute consultation. We will discuss whether we are a match based on what you are looking for and what treatment I offer.
-
Schedule an intake evaluation. The intake is not an agreement to provide treatment. The purpose of the intake is to more thoroughly assess whether we are a match. I will assess your concerns and presenting problems, provide you feedback about my impressions of your experience or diagnoses where relevant, and provide you an overview of what treatment with me would involve. This is an important opportunity for you to assess whether you feel we are a match as well.
-
If we are a match based on the intake, the next step is to schedule our follow-up session.
-
If I or you feel we are not a match, I will make my best effort to provide you feedback along with referrals/resources.
