Frequently Asked Questions

I provide individual mental health counseling virtually to adults in New Jersey.

• Once we have connected, we begin with a 15 minute consultation. This is so I can introduce you to the process, answer your questions, and share about my practice and how I may assist you. It is also a time for me to understand your needs so we may establish if I am the right fit for you!

• Next we will schedule our first session through a HIPAA compliant platform. You will be provided some forms via HIPAA compliant email to complete before your first session.

• The first session serves as your intake and will be different from the following sessions. This session is for me to obtain history and get a jump start on getting to know you, your needs, and explore your goals. It also allows us to get a better understanding of how I can be of benefit to you. We will work at a comfortable pace for you. This session may range from 45-60 mins. 

• The following sessions will be at a once a week for a 45 minute period. We will begin meeting once a week and can re-assess frequency as your therapy continues. This is where you will be working towards your goals. This is a personalized roadmap for you that we will create together. These sessions entail exploring history, practicing skills, processing emotions and thought. This is a safe space created specifically for you to heal and reach your most authentic life.

• The last session will be mutally agreed upon. There is no set time for how long therapy lasts. Some people prefer short term treatment, while some may go consistently for years. We will be continuously measuring our goals throughout sessions to determine the appropiate frequency for you. Of course, you can decide to discontinue at any time, if that is what feels best for you.

Absolutely!

It helps you make progress from the comfort and safety of your own home. It saves you time and money on travel. You can access services in the convenience of your own home! It makes it accessible to more people, especially if commuting can be difficult due to pain/illness. Research has shown it is just as effective as in person therapy. 

If my opinion, I would say everyone can benefit from therapy. I encourage you to allow yourself to engage in a great way to connect with yourself. With that being said, many people are ready to seek services when some of the following might occur:

• your mood is off

• your sleep has changed

• your symptoms are interfering with work or your personal life

• your psychological health is impacting your physical health

• you use unhealthy coping skills

• you want to learn more about yourself and connect with yourself

• you need a little extra support!

Therapy can be helpful for anyone experiencing psychological or emotional distress, such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, and many other issues. If you are struggling with any of these problems or feel like you could benefit from talking to a mental health professional, therapy may be a good option for you.

The length of therapy will depend on the individual's needs and goals. Some people may only need a few sessions, while others may continue therapy for several months or even years.

Although anxiety doesn’t have a quick fix. There are some things you can do to help reduce it in the moment.

This could be:

Working out:

Engage in some physical activity, even if it's just a short walk. Exercise can help release endorphins, which are natural mood lifters, and it can also help take your mind off anxious thoughts.

Mindfulness and Meditation:

Engage in a short mindfulness or meditation session. Try to focus on the present moment and let go of worrying thoughts. There are many apps and online resources available for guided meditation that can be very helpful.

Listen to Soothing Music:

Play calming or uplifting music that you enjoy. Music has a powerful impact on mood and can help shift your focus away from anxious feelings.

Talk to Someone:

If possible, talk to someone you trust about what you're feeling. Sharing your thoughts and feelings can provide relief and give you a fresh perspective on your situation. Therapy is a great place to do this and not worry about being judged or seen differently.

Remember that reducing anxiety usually requires a combination of these techniques along with long-term strategies, such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, proper sleep, and seeking professional help if needed. If you find that your anxiety is persistent and affecting your daily life, it's essential to consult a mental health professional for guidance and support.
