Question 1

How long does therapy usually last?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what you're working on, your goals, and how often you meet. Some people notice changes in a few months, while others stay longer for deeper healing. We'll check in regularly and move at a pace that feels right for you.

Question 2

Is telehealth private and secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Video sessions are HIPAA-compliant and designed to protect your privacy. We use a secure platform, and I am happy to answer any questions you have about online sessions before we begin.

Question 3

Do you offer both in-person and online sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I offer in-person therapy in Connecticut and HIPAA-compliant video sessions worldwide. If you live outside Connecticut or prefer meeting from home, online sessions can be a great option.

Question 4

What should I expect in the first session?

Accepted Answer

The first session is usually about getting to know you and understanding what is bringing you in. We will talk about your goals, your concerns, and what support would feel most helpful. You do not need to have everything figured out before you start.

Question 5

What is the difference between therapy and Practice Your Way coaching?

Accepted Answer

Therapy is a clinical service focused on healing mental health concerns, trauma, and relationship patterns. Practice Your Way coaching is more goal-focused and practical, helping you build skills and apply them in everyday life. If you are not sure which one fits best, we can talk it through on a consultation.

Question 6

What ages and family members do you work with?

Accepted Answer

I work with teens, young adults, and parents. I also support families who want to improve communication, reduce conflict, and heal old patterns together. Depending on your situation, we can focus on individual work, parent support, or family goals.

Question 7

Can parents meet with you without their teen being in the session?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Parent support can happen on its own, especially when you want help understanding your child, improving communication, or changing family patterns. Depending on the goals, we may also include the teen or work together as a family.

Question 8

How do I know whether therapy or coaching is the better fit?

Accepted Answer

If you're dealing with trauma, anxiety, relationship patterns, or deeper emotional healing, therapy may be the better fit. If you want practical support, skills, and accountability around a specific goal, Practice Your Way coaching may fit better. If you're unsure, we can talk it through on a consultation.
