You have taken a very positive step by deciding to seek therapy. The outcome of your treatment depends largely on your willingness to engage in this process, which may sometimes result in considerable discomfort.

Remembering unpleasant events and becoming aware of feelings attached to those events can bring on intense feelings of anger, depression, anxiety, etc. There are no miracle cures. We do not promise that your behavior or circumstance will change.

We can promise to support you as we do our very best to understand you and your repeating patterns. We will help you clarify what you want for yourself.

We hold the session content and all relevant materials to the client’s treatment confidential unless the client requests in writing to have all or portions of such content released to a specifically named person.

There are limitations to such client-held privilege of confidentiality including: 1) if a client threatens or attempts to commit suicide or otherwise conducts themselves in a way that is a substantial risk of incurring serious bodily harm; 2) if a client threatens grave bodily harm or death to another person; 3) if the therapist has a reasonable suspicion that a client or other named victim is the perpetrator, observer of, or actual victim of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse of children under the age of 18 years; 4) suspicions as stated above in the case of an older person possibly subjected to these abuses; 5) suspected neglect of the parties named in items #3 and # 4.

When working with couples, confidentiality by the therapist is limited to the above situations.

We do not connect with our clients on social media to maintain your confidentiality.

We practice culturally competent interventions with a heightened consciousness in culturally diverse populations. Our person-centered therapeutic approach allows clients to introduce their religion into the session at their request.

Therapy can provoke emotions. Sometimes couples laugh, cry, or fight.
