Offerings
I offer one free 30-minute "get-acquainted" session
to all new clients to talk about your reasons for seeking therapy and your expectations, give you a sense of my counseling style, and explain what you can expect from working with me and finally how we should proceed.
All counseling takes place in my
Watertown offices (click "
Contact" or check the right side of your screen).
Individual counseling includes
only myself and the client.
Family members or other
significant persons may be invited at times, if
both
client and I agree it would be helpful to the therapeutic process.
Typically therapy begins with some introductory sessions, which allows us to explore your problems and further get to know each other. During this assessment period, you will have ample time to explain your issues in whatever depth seems most comfortable; I will also ask questions and take as much history as permitted.
We will together decide on your initial goals for treatment.
Once we pass this stage--which is an ongoing process, but consumes at least the first several sessions--assuming you want to continue, we move forward together into deeper therapeutic process and the more challenging (and rewarding) work of therapy begins.

Group therapy is a very powerful type of treatment that is often also cost-effective for clients. Group therapy will be offered from time to time when an appropriate set of clients presents with compatible treatment needs and goals. Please inquire if you are interested.
