Counseling Services
Psychotherapy is not easily described in general statements. It varies depending on the personality of both the therapist and the patient and the particular problems that the patient brings. There are many different methods we may use to deal with the problems that you hope to address. Psychotherapy is not like a medical doctor visit; it calls for an active effort on the part of the patient. It can aid you in discovering tools and techniques that can be utilized to improve the quality of your life and your relationships. Psychotherapy involves change, which may feel threatening not only to you but also to those people close to you. The prospect of giving up old habits, no matter how destructive or painful, can often make you feel very vulnerable. The process can include experiencing feelings like sadness, guilt, anxiety, anger, and fear and making changes that you did not originally intend.
Like any professional service, therapy may not work, and for a relatively small number of people, problems may get worse. Even so, many people find that therapy is worth the discomfort they feel. Therapy often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress. There are no guarantees of what you will experience.
The Therapy Process
We will meet to evaluate the problems that bring you to therapy and we will give you some initial impressions of the kind of treatment that would be helpful to you. During the first few sessions, you should be thinking about whether you feel comfortable working with us. It is important that you feel comfortable with the therapist you choose. If you do decide to work with us, we will develop goals and a treatment plan together. Once psychotherapy is initiated we will decide on a regular schedule of meetings; usually at least one session a week. You may discontinue therapy at any time, though we strongly encourage you to discuss it with us first. We can provide you with referrals to other therapists if that seems needed.
