Accepting new clients in person or telehealth. There are times when it feels like your mood takes over your life and those around you are noticing some changes. You even notice the changes. You may have difficulty completing day to day tasks. Sleep which used come easy is now something you dread. You've noticed the smallest thing sets you off. In some cases, these changes just happen. Other times, an event happens and now you think about life before and how life is after the event. It can be traumatic event or loss. In the majority of cases, therapy is not forever. It is important to find the right therapist for you.
I work with each client to learn more about their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. We identify what barriers are getting in the way. Together we identify how they would like life to be different and learn tools to manage these intense feelings. Plus, clients can share what they want in session. It's helpful to talk to to a mental health professional.
Showing up for the intake session can be hard. We'll discuss what is bringing you to counseling right now. Sessions are scheduled weeekly initially. As progress is made, we meet every other week. I check in with parents/caregivers every third session or as needed. Change doesn't happen overnight. You get out of it what you put into it.
