Changeworks FAQ's -

Therapy is an individual choice.  There are many reasons why people come to therapy.  Sometimes it is to deal with long term struggles; other times it is in response to changes in one’s life such as a divorce, a death, life trauma, or difficulty in a relationship.  Some people seek therapy to help relieve symptoms such as sadness, anxiety or hopelessness; others seek support as they pursue their own personal exploration and growth.

If you are struggling to make the changes you want in your life, and you want to find insights and techniques in order for you to try new behaviors, therapy can be very helpful.

We believe that there are two major factors that influence the success of therapy.  The first is a collaborative connection with your therapist.  The second is that you begin to feel hopeful that things will change early in the therapy process.  We strongly believe you have the strength and skills to make change in your life.  That belief and optimism helps to motivate you to do the work that is needed to improve the quality of your life and your relationships.  If you are interested in finding solutions that work for you, and are willing to explore how to change the patterns of behavior that are less effective for you, therapy can help you to reach your goals.

Please arrive for your first session 10 minutes before your appointment.  You will find paperwork in the waiting room.  I will come out to greet you at your scheduled appointment time.

Sessions last about 50-55 minutes.  The first part of this first session will be spent talking about how the process works, as well as answering any questions you might have.  The bulk of the session will be spent talking about what brings you to therapy as we begin to talk about your goals for success.  The final part of the session will focus on “what's next.”  If I can be helpful, and you feel I am a good fit for you, we will set the next appointment.  We may also discuss what other steps may be available to you to help you reach your goals.
