Telehealth therapy allows you to meet with your therapist online through a secure video platform from the comfort of your home or another private location. We use a HIPAA compliant video technology through Simple Practice which is the leading practice management software system. You will receive an easy to use link via email. Sessions are conducted similarly to in-person therapy, providing a convenient and confidential way to receive support and work toward your therapeutic goals.   

Yes, therapy is confidential. Information shared in therapy sessions is protected by privacy laws and ethical guidelines, meaning your therapist cannot disclose what you discuss without your permission. There are, however, a few legal exceptions to confidentiality, such as if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, if there is suspected abuse of a child, elder, or vulnerable adult, or if a court order mandates disclosure. Your therapist will review these exceptions with you in your first session to ensure you understand your rights and limits of confidentiality.

In general therapy sessions are between 45-50 minutes. Most therapy sessions are once a week. Some clients come in more often and some come in less depending on where they are in their treatment process. 

There is great variability at how long people need to be in therapy. Many situations require 6-8 months and many situations require a year. There are many people that stay longer in therapy in order to create a long term maintenance plan or mentoring relationship. 

During your first therapy session, we’ll start with a thorough assessment of the concerns that brought you to therapy. This means we’ll explore your presenting issues in detail, including what you’re experiencing, how long you’ve been dealing with these concerns, and how they impact your daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. We’ll also discuss any relevant history, including past experiences that may shape your current challenges, to gain a holistic view of your unique situation. 

Together, we’ll begin the initial stages of creating a treatment plan tailored to your needs. This includes setting preliminary goals for therapy, identifying areas of focus, and discussing potential therapeutic approaches that align with your preferences and comfort level. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clear understanding of the therapy process, a sense of the steps we’ll take to support your growth, and an open invitation to ask questions or express any concerns. The goal is for you to leave the session feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about the path forward.

We do not provide emergency services. If you need urgent assistance outside of business hours, you may leave  a message for your therapist, who will return your call on the next business day. For mental health emergencies, please go to the nearest emergency room or contact local emergency services for immediate support.
