During these uncertain times, our team of therapists are here for you and your family. Teletherapy is now available to ensure your health and safety.

We are committed to the on-going anti-racism work that is needed in our society. We recognize the implications of living in a racialized system and strive to take a truly intersectional approach to psychotherapy.

We are working to create a safe space for the Queer community, both in the framework of our company and within our therapy sessions.

Therapy can be helpful for just about everyone. People come to therapy for a variety of reasons. Anything from intense mental health issues to personal growth and increased life satisfaction. Life can be full of ups and downs and therapy can provide a space to increase your capacity to handle unexpected life changes and increase resilience. Therapists provide space for working toward change or support in just about every area of life.

Life is difficult. Everyone encounters times in life that are overwhelming or difficult. Sometimes we have the capacity to handle it on our own, sometimes we don’t. There is no shame in asking for help. Those who decide to engage in therapy usually are ready to see change happen in their lives. It is not a weakness to seek help in gaining new skills, tools, and healing. We all need a little help sometimes.

The length of therapy really depends on the issues you are coming in with and the style of therapy the therapist you are matched with uses. The first few sessions of therapy are considered “assessment” sessions and will help your therapist understand you, your environment, and your needs. After that, treatment typically begins and lasts anywhere from 3 to 18 months. However, you are in charge of your treatment. You are free to leave therapy whenever you feel it is complete. You are also always welcome to come back if/when life gets hard and you need extra support!

All of our therapists will hold 50 minute sessions. This allows them time for note writing after the session. If requested (and for a higher fee), our therapists can do 90 minute sessions. Those are especially helpful for EMDR therapy sessions, couple therapy sessions and family therapy sessions. Insurance rates do not allow for longer than 50 minute sessions.

Typically, therapy sessions will happen on a weekly basis. This is helpful to maintain progress toward your goals. Timing can be flexible and should be discussed with your therapist at your first session.

The law protects the confidentiality of all communications between a client and psychotherapist. No information is disclosed without prior written permission from the client. However, there are some exceptions required by law to this rule. Exceptions include:

Suspected child abuse or dependent adult or elder abuse. The therapist is required to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.

If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person. The therapist is required to notify the police and the person in danger.

If a client intends to harm himself or herself. The therapist will make every effort to work with the individual to ensure their safety and in rare cases this requires contact to family members or other service providers.
