FAQs

What should I expect?

In the first session, we'll get to know one another and start to get a picture of what you want to address and what goals you have. In following sessions, we work together to see where you struggle, address these challenges, and progress towards meeting your goals.

Is what I say in counseling confidential?

Everything shared in the counseling space is kept confidential, with the exception of 3 cases. The limitations of confidentiality are the following:

• If I determine you are a danger to yourself, I will contact emergency services.

• If I suspect child abuse/neglect or elder abuse/neglect, I am mandated by law to report any suspicion to CPS (Child Protective Services) and potentially contact emergency services.

• If you're involved in a current court case and my records are mandated. I am required by law to comply with court-ordered requests for records.

How long should I be in counseling?

How long you come to counseling is completely up to you. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to mental health and wellness. Each person comes in with their unique experiences and moves at their own pace. You come to counseling for as long as you find it helpful. When you get to a point of meeting your goals or feel confident in managing life without a helping hand, then it may be time to either pause or end the counseling relationship.
