What’s my role in my therapy process?
When it comes to your life; you’re the author. During your therapy sessions we want to hear your story—the good, the complicated, the messy. In order to make the progress you want, it is essential that you come with a willingness to open your communication lines, and participate actively in accepting your past and writing your future.

What is my therapist’s role in the therapy process?
Why do I sometimes feel drained after a therapy session?
Our time together won’t always be easy, but making progress rarely ever is. Whether you’re here for stress management, anger management, family and marriage counseling or something else, you might find yourself overwhelmed by your discoveries. It’s important to remember things often feel messier before they fall back into place. You’ve made the choice to move forward and grow, and we’re here to stick with you until we reach every goal that’s important to you and those you love. Each meeting is another opportunity to help you confidently take charge and start living the life that’s important to you.
What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?
How do I refer my adult loved one (spouse, sibling, parent) to therapy?
There are often times when you notice a loved one experiencing pain or lack of control in an area of their life, but they aren’t ready to accept it. Whether they are struggling with trauma, anger, addiction or something else, guiding them toward therapy can be a difficult conversation, but a worthwhile one.
Approach your loved one with compassion and listen to their concerns about therapy. For additional assistance with your conversation, feel free to print out this brochure.
What should I expect on my first visit?

Your first day will involve meeting your therapist and establishing a place for a relationship to grow. Depending on your situation, the therapist might begin with an assessment of what you’re dealing with. This will also be a good time to bring up any trigger words or topics that make you particularly uncomfortable. This will help your relationship form on an open foundation from the start.
