You’ll meet with your counselor on a secure video platform on your device while being in the comfort of your home, or whichever safe and private place you prefer. That way counseling is accessible to you. Your counselor will conduct session from a private office, with no one else present, behind a locked door to ensure your privacy and confidentiality. From there, we will work together towards meeting your goals.

At this time, we only provide online counseling. We believe in making counseling accessible to you when you need it, and in promoting good health and safety especially during and post-COVID-19 pandemic.

In your first appointment, we’ll cover the basics about your confidentiality and remind you that our session is taking place in a private, confidential area. We’ll ask questions about how you’re feeling and doing now, what your childhood was like, important cultural factors in your life, what your relationships are like, and what your goals are in our work together. The first appointment will be a little different because of these questions, but you are always in charge of telling us what feels comfortable to you.

This will be different for everyone and will be based on how you’re feeling and doing now, your needs and preferences, and any unexpected life events. Sometimes if there is a specific, uncomplicated issue you need help with, counseling can last 1-3 months. For others, counseling will typically last 3-6 months, but the majority are in counseling about one year or more. You are in control, and we will support you along the way.
