Thinking About Starting Therapy? Here Are Some Questions You Might Be Asking
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If you’ve found yourself feeling stuck in the same patterns—emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from others, or constantly overthinking—you’re not alone. Therapy is not just for moments of crisis. It’s a space where you can finally slow down and explore what’s really going on underneath the surface. Many people come in saying, “I’m tired of feeling this way, but I don’t know why.” That’s often the perfect place to start.
What if I don’t know what I need help with?
That’s more common than you think. Many people come to therapy because something just feels off—they feel disconnected, anxious, or emotionally tired, but can’t quite name why. An integrative approach creates space for exploration without pressure. You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. We’ll figure it out together.
What if I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help?
That’s okay. The right therapist and the right approach can make all the difference. Integrative, attachment-based therapy is deeply relational—meaning we focus not only on what you’re struggling with, but how we connect in the room. A safe, attuned relationship can become a powerful foundation for change.
What therapy approach do we use?
Integrative therapy simply means that your treatment is tailored to you. It blends a variety of evidence-based techniques—like cognitive behavioral tools for managing anxiety—with deeper, insight-driven work like psychodynamic and attachment-based therapy. We don’t just focus on symptom relief; we explore where those symptoms come from and what they might be trying to tell you.
How long does therapy take?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some people come in for short-term support around a specific issue. Others choose to stay longer for deeper healing and growth. In integrative therapy, we tailor the process to your goals—whether that’s building coping tools, healing from trauma, improving your relationships, or rediscovering your sense of self.
How do I get started?
Starting therapy doesn’t have to be overwhelming. If anything in these questions resonated with you, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation. We’ll talk about what’s going on in your life, what you’re hoping for, and how therapy might support you.
What is psychodynamic therapy and how can it help?
Psychodynamic therapy helps you understand the “why” behind your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. We look at early relationships, past experiences, and unconscious patterns that still shape how you show up in the present. This kind of insight can be incredibly healing—especially when you realize you don’t have to keep repeating the same painful cycles.
Can therapy help if I’ve always felt like I had to “hold it together”?
Yes—especially then. Many clients I work with are high-functioning, dependable, and strong. But beneath that strength is often quiet exhaustion, loneliness, or a deep sense of not feeling seen or understood. Therapy offers space for the parts of you that don’t always get to speak. It’s a place to set down the pressure and get curious about what you need.

Insurance & Payment
We are not currently in-network with insurance providers. However, we are happy to provide a monthly superbill (an itemized receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
Every plan is different, so we recommend checking with your insurance provider to learn more about your out-of-network mental health benefits. If you have any questions about this process, we are happy to help guide you through it.
Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
* You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
* Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose to work with, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
* If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
* Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
* For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
