Frequently Asked Questions

  • For information about getting started, please click here.

  • Therapy services are held in person, at my office. I generally do not offer teletherapy.

    In some circumstances, I will provide teletherapy services to established patients who have moved out of the area. This is determined on a case-by-case basis.

  • I do not offer reduced rates or a sliding scale.

  • For cancellations and appointment rescheduling, 24 hours' notice is required, or the full session fee will be charged to the credit card on file.

  • Therapy is often misconstrued as a platform for constant complaining and self-pity, where individuals simply sit and cry about life's unfairness. It is mistakenly believed to be a space of indulgence, where people are pampered and told they are always right, while everyone else is wrong and their flaws go unnoticed.

    However, therapy is far from that. We engage in productive work during therapy sessions. The objective of therapy is not merely to provide comfort, support, and hope, but rather to promote health, stability, and overall progress and functioning in life. Therapy is about the treatment of, and recovery from, debilitating disorders.

“When we speak, we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak.”
