What to Expect
-
We believe that finding a therapist you can build a genuine, comfortable, and trusting relationship with is crucial to successful treatment.
This can be hard to assess online, so our work together will begin with a free 20-minute phone consultation to help you get a feel for whether our clinic may be the right fit for you.
During this call, we will discuss our approach to treatment, what you are hoping to address in therapy, and decide whether we think we are a good fit to work together. -
Following your initial phone call, treatment will begin with a thorough assessment of your key challenges, symptoms, and goals.
This may take between 1 and 4 sessions.
During this time, you and your therapist will collaboratively develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs, preferences, and your shared understanding of your difficulties. -
While each provider on our team has their own style, you can generally expect that your ongoing therapy sessions will focus on exploring the roots of your current challenges and building evidence-based strategies to help you overcome them.
During each session, you will have space to discuss and process what has happened between sessions, as well as time dedicated to learning new skills and perspectives that will help you make progress toward your goals.
You can also expect between-sessions assignments that will help you apply what you are learning in therapy to real-life situations.
Our clinic believes in an active, goal-oriented, compassionate, and collaborative approach to therapy. -
Throughout treatment, you and your therapist will monitor progress toward your therapy goals. As you get closer to your goals, you will collaboratively discuss when you agree that it is time for you to graduate from therapy.
At graduation, you will conclude your regular therapy sessions. You will feel equipped with new skills and perspectives and confident in your ability to carry these forward on your own.
At graduation, many clients are ready to conclude therapy sessions entirely so that they can continue their progress independently.
Others prefer to stay in touch with periodic "booster sessions.” Your therapist will work with you to create a graduation plan that fits your needs.

Therapeutic Approaches
In your initial sessions, you and your therapist will work collaboratively to develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan will include components of the following evidence-based treatments:
-
CBT examines the way your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and physiological sensations interact with one another to contribute to your distress. You will build skills in each of these domains so that you can disrupt distress cycles when they arise.
-
With its focus on enhancing quality of life, ACT helps you stop struggling against your thoughts and feelings so that they no longer get in the way of doing the things that make your life feel full, rich, and meaningful.
-
DBT is an evidence-based approach that combines mindfulness and practical skills to help individuals manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and enhance well-being. It focuses on four key areas: distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.
-
ERP is a behavioral therapy for OCD and anxiety disorders that involves increasing your exposure to feared situations. It will help you develop more balanced thoughts about your feared situations and enhance your ability to tolerate and accept the discomfort that arises in them.
-
Mindfulness-based approaches to therapy focus on helping you recenter yourself in the present moment when you notice that your mind has pulled you to past memories or future worries. This helps you make more effective, values-aligned decisions in the here and now.
-
Self-compassion is an evidence-based treatment principle that helps you learn how to treat yourself with the same kindness with which you would treat a loved one. It helps you decrease shame, self-validate your challenging experiences, and take more consistent responsibility for your actions.
-
EFT helps couples identify, express, and manage their emotions to foster closer emotional connection between partners. It involves exploring each partner's underlying emotions and needs, and using these to help the couple communicate more clearly and effectively.
-
IBCT helps couples interact more effectively and increase their closeness. It emphasizes strategies for change (modifying problematic behaviors) and acceptance (helping partners learn to accept each other's differences) to decrease conflict and enhance connection.
