Do you offer consultations before starting therapy?
Yes. A brief consultation may be offered to ensure the relationship and clinical fit are appropriate before beginning ongoing sessions. This step helps ensure clients feel comfortable and informed moving forward. perspectives, listen to you without judgment or expectations, and help you listen to yourself. Furthermore, counseling is completely confidential. You won’t have to worry about others “knowing my business.” Lastly, if your situation provokes a great deal of negative emotion, and you’ve been confiding in a friend or family member, there is the risk that once you are feeling better you could start avoiding that person so you aren’t reminded of this difficult time in your life.

Children, Teens, and Parenting Support
How do I know if my child needs therapy?
Common indicators include changes in mood or behavior, withdrawal, increased anxiety, difficulty in school, sleep disturbances, or emotional dysregulation. Therapy may also be beneficial during major life transitions such as divorce, grief, or relocation.
