FAQs
1 For in-person sessions, where do I park?
There is street parking available as well as garage parking. The closest garage is Gott’s Court Garage at 25 Calvert St. Annapolis, MD 21401 and its only a 3min walk to the office.
2 What is therapy like?
It is different for everyone, but basically we start by exploring your experience, your thoughts and feelings about your life experience, and what you would like to see change. Then we work together to create a plan for this. Therapy is a collaborative process. You are the expert on you. I am the expert on the process. By protecting this time to think about, work on, and take care of yourself, positive change can happen.
3 How long does therapy last?
It is different for everyone. Some clients are ready to devote time and energy to exploring something about themselves or their lives and in those cases ideally we meet weekly for as long as it takes to see the change you want to see. However, we know that everyone’s lives are busy so we do our best to accommodate with biweekly or monthly appointments as appropriate. Depending on the situation, some people might only do therapy for a few weeks to a few months. Others might choose to work on something for a year or more.
4 What if I have questions about therapy or the focus of our work?
If you have any questions, please always feel comfortable to bring those to my attention. I want to know how you are feeling about the process of therapy and if we need to make any changes to the direction or goals. We can always shift focus if needed. Life happens and sometimes it’s best to make adjustments.
5 How will I know when I’m done?
It’s not really a question of being done. It is a question of if you are happy with where you are in your journey and if we have met all of our goals. Sometimes we will identify new goals as we go. Other times there is a natural decrease in the need for services. This usually means that you are learning how to cope well on your own. If you need to return at any point if a new stressor emerges or old ones resurface, it doesn’t mean you haven’t healed or grown. It’s OK to get support through life’s stressful times and transitions.
