Therapy Questions, Answered

How do you match me with a therapist?

We start with what you're working through — trauma, anxiety, a relationship pattern, a loss — and match you to a therapist whose training and style fit it, not just whoever has the next opening. If the fit isn't right after a session or two, say so; changing therapists here is easy.

What kinds of therapy do you offer?

Our therapists draw on CBT, DBT, EMDR, and trauma-informed approaches, and most tailor a mix to your situation. Your therapist will explain what they're using and why — you're never left guessing what the plan is.

How often will I be seen, and for how long?

Most people start weekly, then space sessions out as things steady. There's no fixed number of sessions — you and your therapist review what's working and decide together when to taper.

Can I do therapy and medication at the same place?

Yes. Therapy can stand alone or run alongside medication management here, with one shared record — your therapist and psychiatric provider actually talk to each other.

Is therapy by video an option?

Yes — video sessions work well for many people and remove the drive. You can mix formats freely: video when the week is full, in person when you'd rather be in the room.

What if weekly therapy hasn't been enough?

That's what our structured day programs are for. PHP and IOP deliver three-hour sessions three to five days a week on a 12-week rolling curriculum, and stepping up doesn't mean starting over — your record and team stay the same.
