What To Expect
Potential Benefits of Therapy
Therapy is a place where you can be truly heard and understood without the fear of being judged. We can offer new perspectives and/or insights as you move toward your treatment goals. Other benefits include being educated on why you sometimes struggle to control your emotions and learning skills like mindfulness, self-awareness, and relaxation that will help you overcome problem areas like anxiety, depression, anger outbursts, and trauma. With dedicated practice, these skills will help you find a resolution to the concerns that lead you to therapy.
Potential Risks of Therapy
Sometimes in therapy, people begin to feel uncomfortable levels of sadness, anger, frustration, loneliness, or other difficult feelings. You may begin to recall unpleasant memories from your past that can affect relationships today. Sometimes these problems are temporary; however, at other times they cause you to make significant life changes.
Confidentiality
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am bound by confidentiality. That means I will keep confidential anything you disclose to me, with the following exceptions: a) you direct me to tell someone, b) I have reason to believe you are in imminent danger of harming yourself or others, c) I am ordered by a court of law to disclose information, d) you report abuse or neglect of a child, or a handicapped or elderly person (by you or someone else). If you submit therapy sessions for reimbursement through an insurance company, they may require that diagnosis or treatment information be reported. In addition, if you choose couples counseling, please be advised that I reserve the right to introduce information into couples’ sessions that is disclosed in any individual sessions.
