What can I expect during my first therapy session?
During your first session, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and any questions you may have. It's also an opportunity for us to get to know each other and see if we're a good fit.
How long will therapy take?
The length of therapy varies depending on your individual needs and goals. Some people find relief in a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term therapy. We will work together to determine a timeline that works best for you.
What types of services do you specialize in?
I specialize in a wide range of services including Christian Support, Depression Support, Anxiety Support, Trauma Recovery, Self-Esteem Building, Domestic Violence Assistance, Relationship Guidance, Family Conflict Resolution, Grief Support, Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD) Care, Life Transitions Support, and Mixed/Multi-racial Therapy. If you have a specific concern, feel free to reach out to see if I can help.
How often will I need to attend therapy sessions?
Typically, therapy sessions are scheduled weekly. However, this can vary depending on your needs and preferences. We can discuss what frequency would work best for you during our initial session.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy. Your privacy is important, and what you discuss in therapy is kept confidential except in certain legal exceptions (such as if there's a risk of harm to yourself or others).
Do you offer virtual therapy sessions?
Yes, I do offer virtual therapy sessions. Virtual sessions provide flexibility and convenience, allowing you to attend therapy from the comfort of your own home.
What approach do you use in therapy?
My therapeutic approach is influenced by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Spiritual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (S-CBT), and Trauma-Informed Care (TIC). I also incorporate techniques from Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), Mindfulness, Assertiveness Training, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Grief Counseling.
