Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions:
1) What is EMDR therapy?
EMDR Therapy is an evidenced based treatment modality for the treatment of Trauma. I use EMDR for my clients when it is clinically appropriate and when we both agree to it.
2) Is Trauma informed therapy safe for me?
I work with each individual client to start where the client is most comfortable. I am most concerned with establishing a working relationship which includes building trust using honesty, transparency and care.
3) Do I have to identify every trauma I have had?
Nope! Often I will not bring up your trauma and we know from trauma informed care that jumping in and just talking about our trauma stories is actually potentially re traumatizing to the client. So I will not necessarily ask you about your trauma. We have other ways of healing, and I will pull from various approaches to work with you. We will focus on helping your nervous system to feel safe and supported.
4) What is IFS?
Internal Family Systems is a talk therapy approach. We look at the various parts that are inside the client keeping the client safe and we look at how those parts are keeping the client safe.
5) How many sessions does it take for my trauma to heal?
Unfortunately, I can’t give a specific number of sessions to help one person heal as every person is different and heals in different ways at different times. We will work together to develop a treatment plan that works for you so you are comfortable.
6) What are your fees?
My fees and cancellation policy are outlined on the page called “Payment and Insurances”. Fees vary depending on services rendered. I am also on some insurance panels and I do offer Superbills for those who choose to use Out of Network Benefits.
7) Is therapy confidential?
Absolutely! We can discuss specifics, but I do not disclose anything about you without your written Release of Information.
8) Are my sessions recorded?
No. I do not record sessions and in my intake paperwork we agree that clients will not record sessions either.
9) Do we meet in person?
Not at this time. All of my sessions are fully virtual.
