Common Questions & Answers

1. What age groups do you work with?
I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults, using developmentally appropriate approaches tailored to each stage of growth.

2. What happens during the first appointment?
The first session typically lasts 50–60 minutes and focuses on getting to know you (and your child, if applicable). We’ll talk through background information—such as educational, medical, and emotional history—to better understand your needs and create a personalized treatment plan.

3. How do sessions work with children?
Sessions with children are designed to be engaging and comfortable. I often use play, art, storytelling, and interactive activities to help children express themselves in ways that feel natural and safe.

4. How is progress measured?
Progress is evaluated through goal-setting, feedback from both children and caregivers, changes in behavior, and ongoing reflection within sessions. We regularly adjust goals and strategies to ensure therapy is supporting growth in meaningful ways.

5. How long does therapy last?
The length of therapy varies depending on each person’s needs, goals, and progress. Some clients find benefit in short-term support, while others may choose to engage in longer-term therapy for ongoing growth.

Additional Insights

• Consistency matters. Just like learning a new language, therapy is most effective when skills are practiced outside of sessions, especially with support from caregivers.

• Safety comes first. A strong connection and sense of trust are the foundation of therapy. Children—and adults alike—need to feel secure before exploring deeper challenges. This trust builds naturally through time and rapport.
