How Therapy With Me Works

Step 1: Free 15 min. Phone consult

• We start with a scheduled phone consult in which we will discuss what brings you to therapy and see if we are aligned. If you decide to move forward with therapy, we will schedule a mental health assessment.

Step 2: Sessions

• The first scheduled appointment is a mental health assessment. After the initial assessment, I see clients on a weekly/bi-weekly basis for 50 minutes. It is important that you allot the time in your day and are in a private safe space for your own comfort to make the most out of your time in therapy. Sessions can be in person in Boise, ID or virtually as long as you are located in Idaho or Oregon.

Step 3: Treatment

• In our first few sessions we will focus on building a trusting therapeutic relationship, in my opinion this is one of the most important aspects for therapy to work. During this time we will also be setting the goals we will be focusing on. Treament goals are important in therapy because they provide us with a structure to work on together in session as well as outside too. Therapy is 50 minutes of your week, the rest of your time is yours to implement changes as process occurs in the therapy session.

Continuation of treatment:

• The theoretical approaches I use in my practice are not quick fixes. If you are someone that is looking for a solution focused treatment, working with me may not be the most suitable. In my approach I dive in with you as far back as you are willing to go and believe that only you can determine when you no longer need therapeutic services. Because each human in nature is different, treatment duration will depend on a case by case basis.
