Session Structure
First Appointment 
This appointment focuses on gathering background information, getting to know each other, seeing if we're mutually a good fit (usually this can be determined within the first 3 sessions), and outlining goals for therapy. 

Follow-Up Sessions
I'll check in with you and offer validation, support, problem solving, skills, psychoeducation, and reframes to progress on your specific goals. 

Timing​
I start sessions on the hour. Sessions are approximately 1 hour (I aim for 50 minute sessions, 5 minutes for scheduling, and 5 for charting). My earliest sessions are at 9am. My last session varies as I try to offer some evening times, but also want some evenings for myself.

Frequency
This depends on the client. I usually recommend weekly for the first 3 sessions (this helps me build familiarity with your story) then we collaboratively figure out if weekly, every other week, or monthly is the best fit. This can always be adjusted as needed. You can always reach out for a sooner appointment and I'll see what I can do! I typically offer weekly sessions at the most - if you need multiple sessions a week, you may qualify for a higher a level of care (Intensive Out-Patient, Partial Hospitalization, or In-Patient).
