Frequently Asked Questions

What is counseling?

Counseling is a process by which people meet to explore current stressors, past trauma, personal problems, and more. Counselors and clients work together to identify solutions to these issues. Counseling can be done in a variety of ways. Some examples are talk therapy, play therapy, and art therapy.

What ages do you work with?

How often would we need to meet?

In the beginning, as you are forming a relationship, most clients initially start out with once a week appointments for 45-60 minutes. However, this will also be determined by your level of need and insurance company requirements.

I hate talking about my problems. How can you help?

Many people struggle to open up to a therapist initially. We take a holistic approach to working with you. We feel that the relationship between a client and a therapist is very important and must have a strong foundation for therapy to work. We take a client directed approach and do not force clients to talk about certain subjects.

I have a young child that needs help. How will counseling work if a child can't or won't talk about their feelings?

Children often use their behavior as a way to express how they are feeling. When we see children, we like to involve the parents as well. We will use play therapy with children and offer parenting tips and advice for dealing with the child's needs.

How can Occupational Therapy help heal trauma?
