Question 1

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes, therapy sessions are confidential and protected by law. We'll explain any exceptions, such as safety concerns or legal requirements, during the informed consent process.

Question 2

What happens if you need to cancel or miss an appointment?

Accepted Answer

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours' notice. Missed or late cancellations may incur a fee, as we cannot offer that time to another client.

Question 3

Do you provide court-related services or custody evaluations?

Accepted Answer

No. Our clinicians provide treatment only and do not participate in custody disputes, court testimony, forensic evaluations, or legal advocacy as part of therapy. Therapy is not intended for legal use.

Question 4

Can you communicate with schools, attorneys, or other providers?

Accepted Answer

With a signed Release of Information, limited coordination of care may occur when clinically appropriate. Extensive meetings, written reports, or communications outside of therapy sessions may incur additional fees and are not typically covered by insurance.

Question 5

What should you do in a mental health emergency?

Accepted Answer

In a mental health emergency, call 911, visit the nearest emergency room, or contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for immediate help.

Question 6

How do I know if your practice is the right fit for me or my family?

Accepted Answer

We focus on finding the best therapy fit for each client. If you are looking for a supportive, strengths-based approach with clear goals and practical tools, we may be a good match. If needed, we can also help you think through the next step before you begin therapy.
