Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist

Not every therapist is a fit for every client! In addition to verifying education, credentials, and the issues that your therapist treats, it is also important to choose a therapist that you feel comfortable with.

You may also want to consider a therapist's worldview and philosophy about change, as some people find that this helps them more easily connect with their therapist.

Factors that contribute to feeling comfortable and connected to your therapist vary from person to person. Oftentimes you may not know how you feel with a particular therapist until you've met them in person.

For this reason, I suggest scheduling a first appointment with me to get a feel for my working style and determine if you feel I'm a good fit for you. I'm fully supportive of clients who choose to shop around and meet with more than one therapist before making their final selection.

I tailor sessions to each individual client and typically use the following therapy models in my work: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (E-CBT), Emotional-Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, Solution-Focused, Bowen.

The Duration and Frequency of Therapy

Most clients opt to attend sessions once per week. I recommend this, especially in the beginning of therapy, as it's the best way to stay focused on your goals and achieve success.

However, some clients opt to attend sessions once every other week to best accommodate their schedule or for financial reasons. We will work together to find a schedule that works best for you and your circumstances.
