Therapy will both challenge and change you.
We will begin therapy by assessing your presenting problems, defining your needs, establishing your goals, and developing a plan to reach those goals. How we get there looks different for each person. It can be a process of talking together about what matters to you and my reflecting back to you what I hear and see or it can be using EMDR therapy in which we process traumatic memories and replace negative cognitions with more positive cognitions.
The therapeutic process is very unique. You may find relief from your discomfort immediately or it may take months. You will always feel safe but therapy is not always comfortable. Some of the benefits of therapy include the relief of bodily tension and psychological stress, as well as dramatic and lasting shifts in understanding and insight. These shifts happen spontaneously as you learn more about what your body is telling you. You will experience a feeling of release and ease as you move into a space of knowing what is true and right for you.
