individual APpointments

Individual counseling, also known as therapy or psychotherapy, involves one-on-one sessions between a client and a licensed therapist. The goal is to explore personal issues, develop coping strategies, and promote mental health and well-being. The therapist provides a safe, confidential environment to discuss various concerns, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and relationship issues.

  • During an initial session, the therapist introduces their approach and confidentiality policies, assesses the client's history, current concerns, and goals for therapy, and sets specific, achievable goals for future sessions.

    A treatment plan, including the frequency of sessions and potential techniques or interventions, is also suggested.

    Subsequent sessions typically begin with a check-in about the client's recent experiences and feelings, followed by a discussion of current issues or progress on previously discussed topics.

    The therapist may use various techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, or talk therapy, to address the client's concerns. In some cases, art therapy may be incorporated, where clients use creative processes like drawing, painting, or sculpting to express and explore their emotions and thoughts. This can be particularly helpful for clients who find it difficult to articulate their feelings verbally. Homework or tasks may be assigned for the client to complete between sessions.

    The session ends with a summary of key points and any plans for the next session. Follow-up appointments are usually scheduled weekly or biweekly, with periodic evaluations to assess progress and adjust the treatment plan as necessary.

    Long-term planning discussions may include potential conclusions of therapy and continued support strategies.  

couples/family appointments

Couples or family counseling involves sessions with a therapist and multiple clients, usually partners or family members, focusing on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and strengthening relationships. It helps participants understand each other better, develop healthier interaction patterns, and address specific relational issues.

  • During an initial session, the therapist explains their approach, confidentiality policies, and session structure. Each participant shares their perspective on the relationship or family dynamics, current concerns, and goals for therapy. Specific goals for therapy are set, agreed upon by all participants, and a treatment plan is proposed, including the frequency of sessions and potential techniques or interventions.

    Subsequent sessions typically begin with a check-in about recent experiences and feelings of each participant, followed by a discussion of ongoing issues, conflicts, or progress on previously discussed topics.

    The therapist may use techniques such as communication exercises, role-playing, or conflict resolution strategies to address the group's concerns. Homework or tasks may be assigned for participants to complete between sessions, such as practicing communication skills.

    The session ends with a summary of key points and plans for the next session. Follow-up appointments are usually scheduled weekly or biweekly, with periodic evaluations to assess progress and adjust the treatment plan as necessary.

    Long-term planning discussions may include potential conclusions of therapy and continued support strategies for maintaining healthy relationships.
