-
Is everything I share in therapy confidential?
What you share in therapy is confidential and protected by law. However, there are a few exceptions, such as if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or in cases of abuse or court orders. Your therapist will explain these limits clearly so you understand your privacy from the start. You can also review our Notice of Privacy Practices for more information.
-
What is your approach or style of therapy?
Therapy is grounded in a relational, psychodynamic approach, with a flexible, eclectic style tailored to each person’s needs. The work focuses on building a strong, collaborative relationship, exploring how past experiences and patterns show up in your current life, and helping you understand yourself more deeply. Sessions also draw on tools from CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to help you change unhelpful thought patterns, manage intense emotions, build healthier coping strategies, and move toward a more meaningful, values‑driven life.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?
Therapy might be right for you if you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite like yourself, and you’d like a space that’s just for you to talk things through. It can help with specific concerns like anxiety, low mood, stress, or relationship struggles, but also if you simply want to understand yourself better and make some positive changes in your life. If you’ve been wondering, “Would it help to talk to someone?”, that curiosity alone is often a good sign that trying therapy could be a helpful next step.
