How long and how many times a week is a typical session?

Sessions are usually 45-50 minutes. Most clients are seen once a week, in the beginning, then, as time goes on, less frequently. The number of sessions depends on your current needs. 


How long will I be in counseling?

The length of time a client is in counseling depends on the nature of the problem and the goals of the counseling. Some clients have a very specific problem that can be worked through in a set course of counseling. For others, counseling is an on-going learning process and they choose to receive counseling for a longer period.


What if I want couples counseling, but my partner won't come?

Unfortunately, sometimes one partner is not as willing as the other to come in for counseling. However, we often find that it is possible to improve the relationship with just one person involved in counseling.


How much are your fees and do you take insurance?

We accept all insurances for marriage counseling and individual therapy.


Will marriage counseling possibly lead to divorce?

No, I believe almost all couples can improve to the point where their marriage can be fulfilling and close. 

Do you have experience working with active-duty military personnel, veterans and their families?

Yes, I have a special interest in working with military personnel and veterans. Over the years I have helped veterans of the wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. 


What kinds of therapy do you provide?

I provide the following therapies:


  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy
  • Gestalt therapy
  • Dialectical behavioral therapy
  • Hypnotherapy
  • EMDR 
  • Mindfulness Therapy

Depression
People who struggle with depression often feel down, sad, tired for at least several weeks or have problems with sleep and appetite. They lose interest in activities that they once found pleasurable. Depression negatively affects millions of Americans each year.

Anxiety and Stress
Stress and anxiety are related but often confused. Stress is tension associated with a specific event (e.g. a test or a job), while anxiety is a non-specific worry about the future. To find relief, people with anxiety may turn to repetitive routines, preoccupations, or addictions.

Arguments
Conflict resolution is an important part of any relationship. Conflict plays a vital role in allowing two people to reconcile differing needs. Unfortunately, when conflict is handled poorly, it can cause distress in the relationship.

Trauma
Experiences that overwhelm or scare us can leave a lasting impression. The symptoms can leave us stressed, depressed, and have negative consequences for our work and home life.

Communication
Feeling understood and understanding one's partner is what allows couples to deeply share one another's lives. Often, couples struggle with communication issues, which may mask underlying painful feelings.

Trust
Trust plays a vital role in sustaining a relationship. People trust differently. For some, trust is established quickly, while others are slow to grant trust. Similarly, some are able to forgive quickly, while others find it hard.

Self-Esteem
Self-esteem is a feeling of personal worth. It is important to be able to value yourself regardless of your current state of personal achievement, beauty, or intelligence. Your self-esteem creates the foundation for a full life, great relationships, and a feeling of well-being.
