Once we finish the history, we will create a treatment plan- our road map for therapy. This helps you know what we are working on, how we are working on it, and what goals we need to meet before discharge from the therapy process. After a thorough history and creation of a treatment plan we get to work and start the process towards a psychologically healthier place.
You can rest secure that throughout the therapy process we work through open and honest communication, making changes to the process as we see fit as a team. We create a plan completely personalized to you by taking pieces and parts from the multiple kinds of therapy I do to choose the best interventions for you. You can read more about the types of therapies I do HERE. I utilize a program called Therachat to stay in touch outside of session and offer extra support, which most of my clients love. It is free to you and allows for HIPAA compliant messaging, sending homework, emotion tracking, and push notifications so you don’t forget things that we’ve agreed to do in session. I also try to offer extra perks like appointment reminders. I’m working hard all the time to ensure that my clients feel supported outside of therapy but also trusted that they can handle things on their own.
In therapy with me you can expect a personal relationship with a therapist who cares. I work hard to make sure that you feel heard and listened to and I’ll check in you often about your side of things. It is important that you know that healing is not linear. There will be setbacks. We expect them and you should never feel that I am disappointed, frustrated, or let down by these things. I work with you to take these as new information, learn from these incidents, and amend our plan for how we want to move forward.
Ultimately, what you can expect is a deeply personal process tailored to your specific needs with the best support available.
