FAQ

Here are answers to some of the questions we’re most often asked. We know that starting therapy can be a big step, and it’s important that you feel a sense of comfort and connection from the beginning. We offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation call to answer any questions you may still have, and to help us both get a sense of whether this feels like the best space for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often will sessions occur?

You and your therapist will decide the frequency of sessions. This can be adjusted as your need for support increases or decreases.

Where do sessions take place?

Sessions can take place in our Fairfax office, or virtually through a HIPAA compliant platform. You are not required to commit to one or the other. We are happy to accommodate whatever works best for you that week!

How long are sessions?

Sessions are around 50 minutes. We offer longer sessions for times you need more support.

What can I expect in the first session?

The first session is a time for you and your therapist to get to know each other, discuss what brings you to therapy, and any goals you may have. No idea where you want to start? Not a problem! We will help you figure it out.

Are you one of those therapists that just nod their head the entire session?

Absolutely not! We are here to ask questions, help you make connections, brainstorm ideas, provide support, and most importantly, build a trusting relationship with you.

If I find this is not for me, am I committed?

No, not at all. We hope you love working with us, and we are always open to hearing how we can best support you! If we are not the best fit, we can help you find another therapist who is. If you decide you are not ready for therapy, you are always welcome back!

I am nervous about starting therapy! Can you help?

Many of our clients are nervous when starting therapy! If you are comfortable, let us know if there is anything specific you are nervous about. We have many ideas on how to make you more comfortable in sessions.

There are so many therapists out there, why you?

As a small practice, we are able to give you our full attention. We send you notes of encouragement when we know you have something big coming up. We answer your emails and phone calls promptly. We are happy to connect with your other providers, schools, and hold parent sessions. We truly care about you!
