Frequently Asked Questions about Therapy with Me

What it is like to work with me…

Therapist near Raleigh, Apex, Cary, Morrisville

Who knew when you started googling to find a ‘therapist near me,’ that you would have so many options, and be left with SO many questions?

Having a good fit between therapist and client is one of the main predictors for successful therapy outcomes. That’s why it is so important that you feel heard from the start. I thought I’d share some questions that I often get from potential clients with the hope that it may help you decide if you would like to setup time to talk with me.

  • I have an office located in Cary, NC and offer In-Person appointments. I find that for the women I work with meeting in a space outside of work or home is most effective.

  • My practice is located in the Preston neighborhood near the High House and Cary Parkway intersection. You can make yourself comfortable in the foyer and I will come and get you at the time of your appointment.

    During the session, we will talk about your reasons for seeking counseling and I will ask questions to learn more about you. You will have an opportunity to ask me any questions you have about the therapy process and talk about any concerns you may have. We will identify your goals and then get to work on achieving them!

  • An Initial Session is 60 minutes.

    Ongoing Sessions are 50 minutes.

  • I have found that meeting weekly improves clients’ progress toward their goals. For that reason, I offer clients a weekly standing appointment time. This allows for both schedule and therapy consistency.

    Doing healing work at the level that will sustain long-term change takes time. It’s a commitment. Clients who invest in the time feel relief faster and have less relapse into old patterns.

  • There are a lot of factors that contribute to the length of counseling, so it is difficult to predict until we begin working together. Typically, I work with clients for 6-12 months to reach and maintain their optimal level of wellness.

  • While therapy sessions are dynamic spaces to process things, your life happens outside our sessions. For this reason, I work with clients to determine the ‘work’ they want to do in between sessions.

  • While I can’t guarantee specific outcomes, I do use measures throughout our work together so you won’t just ‘feel’ it is making a difference. We will also have data to look at to measure your therapy outcomes.

  • I do have a firm 24-hour cancellation policy, so if you need to cancel for any reason, make sure you give 24 hours’ notice to avoid paying the late cancellation fee. The fee is $165.

    If possible I will reschedule you the same week so that we don’t lose traction in out work together.

    If you need to cancel 2 sessions we can talk about moving to a different time if needed.

  • I see clients Monday through Thursday from 9-3:30 at my office in Cary, NC.

    I offer weekly standing appointment times for my client’s convenience and for the best therapy outcomes.

    During your phone consultation, we will discuss what session time(s) I have available.

  • I am an out-of-network provider.

  • The initial 60-minute Session is $185
