Individual Therapy
If you’ve reached out to set up a therapy session, you’re probably close to your emotional limits. Assessments generally take about 60-70 minutes, and once we’ve discussed your reasons for coming, we can jump right into skills to use to help reduce those feelings of suffering and distress. That initial session gives me the information I need to establish a diagnosis (if applicable) as well as to develop individualized goals for therapy with you tailored to your specific needs. Subsequent therapy sessions are generally about 50-53 minutes.
Pet-Assisted Therapy
At times, overwhelming feelings leave you feeling out of control, out-of-body, alone, and unable to give voice to your needs in session. My canine office mate Appa, will be more than happy to help you through the session. He’s a Great Pyrenees who is in training to become a certified therapy dog. He has a calming, empathetic presence, and a wonderfully fluffy coat to help ground you as we sort through those difficult emotions and experiences.
Couples/Family Therapy
It’s often not just the birthing parent who is struggling. In those cases, I am more than happy to get partners involved in the therapeutic process to help support their loved ones as well as to address any emotional baggage they may be carrying themselves. In family sessions, we focus more on improving communication and fostering emotional connection between partners.
Telehealth
Online therapy sessions are conducted through Zoom which is a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. Telehealth ensures accessibility to therapy for those who live outside the midlands as well as for those who may have a disability or are struggling with pregnancy or postpartum related complications. It’s also completely understandable that with a new baby sometimes leaving the house is just too much to ask, so we can be flexible and transition from in-person to telehealth quickly. All you need is internet access, a computer, or a smart device.
