In some cases client’s symptoms become worse during the course of therapy, occasionally necessitating hospitalization. Another risk of therapy is that throughout the process of therapeutic change it is not uncommon for clients to reach a point of change where they may feel they are different and no longer able to be the same person they were upon entering therapy.

Although there may be potential for these risks, there is an abundance of research showing the benefits that result from therapy.

Appointments Appointments will ordinarily be 45-60 minutes in duration, once per week at a time we agree on, although some sessions may be more or less frequent as needed. If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, I ask that you provide me with 24 hours notice. If you miss a session without canceling, or cancel with less than 24 hour notice, you will be required to pay for the session. In addition, you are responsible for coming to your session on time; if you are late, your appointment will still need to end on time.
