Sometimes you know exactly why you're considering therapy. Something happened. A relationship ended. You experienced a loss. Your career changed. You're overwhelmed, anxious, grieving, burned out, or navigating a transition you weren't prepared for. Other times, it's harder to explain.
On paper, your life may look fine. You're functioning. You're handling your responsibilities. Other people may even see you as the person who always has it together. But something doesn't feel right. Maybe you're exhausted from carrying everything. You keep repeating patterns you don't understand. You struggle to set boundaries without feeling guilty. You're disconnected from yourself, unsure what you want, or beginning to realize that the way you've always handled things isn't working anymore.
You don't have to be in crisis to come to therapy.
Sometimes therapy begins with simply wanting to understand yourself better.
We all develop ways of navigating the world. Somewhere along the way, you learned what was expected of you, how relationships worked, what felt safe, what earned approval, what created conflict, who to avoid, and what you needed to do to get through difficult experiences. Your family system as well as the relationships around you play a role in shaping who you become and how you see the world.
Maybe you learned to be independent.
To keep everyone happy.
To achieve.
To avoid conflict.
To stay in control.
To take care of everyone else.
To be perfect.
To keep moving no matter how tired you became.
You may have parts of yourself you wish you could simply get rid of.
The anxious part.
The angry part.
The perfectionist.
The people-pleaser.
The part that shuts down.
The part that overthinks everything.
The part that keeps everyone at a distance.
Rather than immediately trying to eliminate those responses, we'll become curious about them.
What are they trying to do for you?
Sometimes the things that helped us survive one season of life make it difficult to live the next one. Therapy gives us an opportunity to understand those patterns without judging them and decide whether they still belong in the life you're building now.
Understanding why you do something can be incredibly powerful. But insight alone doesn't always create change.
You can know exactly where a pattern came from and still find yourself repeating it.
Our work will help connect what you're discovering in therapy with what happens outside the therapy room in your relationships, boundaries, decisions, reactions, and everyday life. The goal isn't simply to understand your story. It's to have more choice about what happens next.
Many people who come to therapy are highly capable. They're professionals. Parents. Caregivers. Leaders. Partners. Problem-solvers. The people everyone else relies on. Being capable doesn't make you immune to grief, stress, loneliness, relationship difficulties, burnout, or major life transitions. And sometimes being the person who handles everything makes it especially difficult to acknowledge when you need somewhere to put what you're carrying.
Therapy provides a space where you don't have to perform, manage anyone else's reaction, or have everything figured out. You get to be the person we're paying attention to.
That's okay.
You don't have to believe therapy is going to fix everything.
You don't have to know what you want your relationship to look like.
And you don't have to walk into the first session ready to share your deepest feelings.
You just have to be willing to show up and get curious about what's happening between you.
We'll begin by talking about what brought you to therapy and what you hope will be different. Your therapist will spend considerable time understanding your family of origin, major life events, traumatic experiences, and symptoms you're experiencing. You don't need a perfectly defined goal before your first appointment. Sometimes figuring out what you need is part of the work. Sessions are collaborative. We'll talk about what's happening in your life now while also becoming curious about the experiences, relationships, beliefs, and patterns that may be influencing how you're responding.
There may be sessions that feel reflective and others that feel very practical. Some conversations may be difficult.
Others may involve humor, relief, realization, or finally putting words to something you've carried for a long time.
There isn't one predetermined path.
The work develops around you.
Most clients begin with weekly sessions. Consistency gives us time to build a strong therapeutic relationship, understand what's bringing you in, and create momentum toward the changes you're looking for. As you begin noticing meaningful changes outside of therapy, sessions may become less frequent. We'll regularly talk about your progress and determine together what frequency continues to make sense. The goal isn't for therapy to become something you need forever.
Some clients determine they're ready to graduate from therapy and some decide they'd like to come on a less frequent basis once they begin feeling better. You and your therapist will work together to make the best plan for you!
Your experiences are part of your story.
Your relationships are part of your story.
The things you've survived, accomplished, regretted, lost, learned, and loved are all part of it too.
But understanding where you've been doesn't mean you have to keep repeating it. Therapy can help you recognize what has shaped you, appreciate the ways you've learned to protect yourself, and become more intentional about what you want to carry into the life ahead.
You don't have to erase your story to change what comes next.
There is no risk or cost to schedule a consultation. It's a great way to find out if we offer the assistance you're looking for. If you find we're not a fit, we can offer a list of referrals and resources.
Individual therapy has a gross billing rate of $110 for a 60-minute session. Each clinician has the ability to reduce this fee based on financial need or lack of medical insurance. Although most individual therapy is covered by medical insurance, it is important to understand that many insurance plans require services to be considered medically necessary and connected to a qualifying mental health diagnosis for an identified patient.
We are happy to provide a superbill for clients who would like to request out-of-network reimbursement from their insurance provider. Because benefits vary by plan, clients are encouraged to contact their insurance company directly to determine eligibility and reimbursement.
HSA/FSA cards are accepted forms of payment.
