Services
Initial Consultation
The decision to start therapy is a very personal one, and it is important that you feel we can work together well. I offer free 15 minute consultation services either on the telephone, through teleconference, or by e-mail. This allows you to meet me, ask about my approach, and get a sense of whether you feel I can be of assistance to you
Initial Assessment
The initial assessment session is typically about 75 minutes in length. In this meeting, you will have the opportunity to share information and your hopes for therapy. I aspire to get a good sense of what you struggle with, what your strengths are, and what you hope to get out of therapy. This will allow us to establish a preliminary therapy plan. If, at any point, we determine that other services may be a better fit for you, I will help you obtain assistance from appropriate providers.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes in length. The number of sessions required will depend on the type of concerns you have and the level of change you desire. The number of sessions is flexible and we will work together to determine the therapy plan, modifying it as needed.
CHRONIC PAIN SERVICES
Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)
Research has identified that the role of the nervous system in chronic pain is significant and this is has led to a multipronged approach to addressing pain that persists. Have you tried many different physical treatments only to be left with temporary relief, if any at all?
What we now know is that when pain persists, the nervous system may have become hypersensitive, such that it amplifies pain signals.
Approaches like Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) can help re-train the brain’s response to pain sensations, and a growing body of research is showing lasting pain relief with this approach.
Please contact me if you would like more information.
Group Therapy
- Mindfulness & Self-compassion (MSC) Group
- Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) Group
Group therapy typically involves 4 -6 consecutive weekly sessions. PRT sessions are 90 minutes & MSC sessions are 60 minutes
We often feel isolated when dealing with challenges, such as loss, transition, chronic pain, suffering. In addition, we are living in a very distracted and distressed time in history, and critical self-talk can run amok. Connecting with others can be a key healing component of effective therapy.
