You can schedule the initial appointment once the required paperwork is signed. The initial in-person appointment consists of a thorough assessment (1- 1½ hours) that includes a discussion of your personal and treatment history along with current issues. We will identify the problem(s) that brought you to therapy so that we can have a common understanding of your treatment goals. We will collaborate on what treatment modality might best meet your needs.

Sessions usually last 50 minutes and are highly interactive regardless of whether it’s in-person or by teletherapy (videoconferencing). Treatment is present-focused and includes the use of homework to promote positive change. Throughout treatment, we will continually assess your progress, highlight what works well and make changes in order to best help you on your journey. We will incorporate assessments to tailor treatment to your needs, to sharpen treatment focus, and to measure objective change.

When desired or indicated, family participation is ideal for promoting long-term change. Family is defined by YOU which can include family members (biological, in-laws, adopted, surrogate), significant others/partners, friends, roommates, and other supportive individuals.

Services include Family-Based Treatment (FBT) for eating disorders, brief family consultations, and participation in your individual sessions as agreed upon in advance.
