How often do you see clients?

I am not a believer in seeing clients every week, or that therapy is something you do for the rest of your life. The needs of the client dictate the frequency of our meetings. Clients may be seen more frequently in the beginning of therapy, and then phased down to less often as the person gets better. It is always obvious when the client has finished therapy–we have nothing to talk about!

How long is each session?

Sessions are generally 45-50 minutes, and I am not a big clock watcher.

What’s the difference between your credentials, a social worker, a psychologist, etc?

I think the major difference is how we look at the process of change. Some therapists may look at root cause, or childhood experience, as the reason for a person’s problems. They then try to heal or solve those problems with insight and change. I tend to look at the person’s problem and evaluate those influences as both factors for the problem as well as factors for the solution. It is my belief that people are quite resourceful, resilient, and have many abilities to handle the most painful of problems and situations.
