Individual Therapy

Terra Therapy provides counseling for a variety of personal issues, including:

Individual sessions last approximately 50 minutes. I usually meet with clients weekly, but sometimes more or less often works, too.

Expect to be treated with respect and without judgment in an environment that is warm, safe and comfortable. Expect me to engage with you -- this is interactive psychotherapy.

Our first appointment: I’ll be learning what brought you to my office and at least some of your history and background. We will sit down together and talk about what you want. If you’re not clear what that is, that will likely be our first priority. My expectation is that you will leave your first session with a sense of where we’re going, understanding of what our first steps will be, and very likely with some tools to begin use. I hope that you will leave our first session feeling understood, hopeful and empowered.

How long will it take? That could be anywhere from one session to many sessions. It depends on many factors -- how much you want to have happen, how long the issues have been present, and how much you feel able to give the process in between sessions.

We all have an innate ability to heal and grow, and it’s important to trust that.

Confidentiality: Except in certain circumstances defined by law, what we talk about in my office stays here.

Cancellations: If you need to cancel an appointment with less than 24 hours notice, our agreement is that you will be responsible for my fee.

If you have any other questions about what to expect, please call or email me and I’ll do my best to answer them.
