As a client-centered therapist, I take a non-directive and relational approach to therapy. This means I allow you to lead the sessions, focusing on your unique needs and goals. My aim is to build a strong therapeutic bond, creating a safe and supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate your personal journey.

I am currently an out-of-network provider with all insurance plans. However, I will provide superbills that you can submit to your insurance for sizable reimbursements. You can contact your insurance to see if your plan has out-of-network coverage and learn what your reimbursement rate is. Many clients find that their insurance covers most of the session cost after receiving their reimbursements.

Choosing the right therapist can be a deeply personal decision, but there are several signs that indicate a good fit. You should feel comfortable, understood, and respected during sessions. Building a strong therapeutic relationship often takes time, so it’s important to be patient. Effective communication, shared goals, and noticeable progress are key indicators of a good match, but it may take a few sessions to fully assess. Give it time to determine if the therapist’s approach aligns with your needs and if you feel a meaningful connection.

Teletherapy has proven to be effective, with research showing it can be as effective as in-person therapy for various issues and conditions. It offers increased accessibility, convenience, and comfort by allowing clients to receive care from their own homes.

Additionally, meaningful therapeutic relationships can be formed through teletherapy. Key elements of a successful therapeutic relationship—such as empathy, trust, and open communication—can be effectively developed and maintained through video calls, phone sessions, and secure messaging.

Yes, therapy is confidential. Therapists are bound by professional and legal obligations to maintain client confidentiality, meaning that what you discuss in therapy sessions stays private. There are, however, a few exceptions to this rule, such as if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if there is suspected abuse or neglect. These exceptions are typically explained during the initial sessions. Overall, confidentiality is a cornerstone of the therapeutic relationship, ensuring a safe and trust-filled environment for clients.

The duration of therapy varies widely based on individual needs and goals. Some clients may achieve their desired outcomes in a few sessions, especially if addressing a specific, short-term issue. Others may benefit from longer-term therapy, spanning several months or even years, particularly when dealing with more complex or chronic conditions.

At TGP, we will help determine the appropriate length of therapy, ensuring it is tailored to each client’s unique situation and needs. Our personalized approach ensures that therapy duration aligns with your individual goals and circumstances, providing the right level of support for your journey.
