What to expect

Psychotherapy experiences vary greatly, depending on the particular problems the client brings and the personality of both the client and the therapist.  There are different approaches that can be used to address problems.  Psychotherapy requires an active effort on your part.  To be successful, you will have to work on things we talk about both during our sessions and at home.  Psychotherapy has both benefits and risks.  Therapy often leads to a reduction in distress, better relationships, and resolutions of specific problems.  Risks can include experiencing uncomfortable feelings such as sadness, guilt, anxiety, anger and frustration, loneliness, and helplessness.  Psychotherapy often requires discussing unpleasant aspects of your life.  During the first few sessions we will focus on an evaluation of your needs and a discussion of some initial treatment goals.  You should evaluate this information along with your own assessment about whether you feel comfortable working with me.  At any time during the therapy process you should feel free to raise any questions or concerns that may arise and you may, of course, discontinue treatment and/or ask for referrals.
