Choosing A Therapist

Choosing the right therapist is the most important decision you will make about your treatment. But how do you choose?

Speaking and interacting with a therapist will give you important information. How do you feel after your conversation with them? Do you feel understood? Liked? Respected? Do you like their ‘style’? Did they talk too little? Did they talk too much? A good match between client and therapist is key to a successful treatment.

COVID Policy

Over the course of the pandemic, both therapists and clients have found that video sessions via zoom can be effective. Still, many will continue to prefer to meet in person. I have been vaccinated since February, 2021. I am happy to meet with you in person if you feel safe doing so.
