General Questions about Therapy or Counseling
How can therapy or counseling help me?
Through therapy, our clients learn practical ways of coping with grief, stress, depression, anger, and much more. They are able to better understand themselves, their strengths and weaknesses, their relationships, needs, and patterns.
The results include a more purposeful and satisfying experience of life.
How long will I be in treatment?
The length of time needed to address your needs and meet your goals varies from person to person, and issue to issue. In some cases, progress can be made in a short period. Other times, an individual can benefit from long-term counseling or therapy.
We can provide more information about the suggested length of treatment after your first session.
What is the first session like?
If you are feeling nervous about talking to a therapist, this is a good opportunity to break the ice. The goal of the session is to instill a sense of safety and comfort.
Do you offer a telehealth option?
Telehealth services are offered through our online HIPPA compliant electronic platform. We are only able to provide telehealth services to clients who live in Colorado.
What are your COVID-19 protocols?
