Frequently Asked Therapy Questions

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply want support in creating positive change, therapy can help. You don’t need to wait until things feel “bad enough” — reaching out is a step toward growth and healing.

Yes. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy. What you share in session is private and protected by law. Creating a safe, trusting space where you can speak openly—without fear of judgment or exposure—is essential to meaningful therapeutic work.

There are, however, a few legal exceptions to confidentiality. Therapists are required to break confidentiality if:

• There is a risk of serious harm to you or someone else
• There is suspected abuse or neglect of a child, elderly person, or dependent adult
• Records are subpoenaed by a court of law

If any of these situations arise, we will discuss them together whenever possible so you understand what steps need to be taken.

If you are using insurance, your provider may require a diagnosis and limited information for billing purposes.

Your privacy matters deeply. If you ever have questions about confidentiality or how your information is handled, I welcome those conversations.

We ask for 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a session. Late cancellations and no-shows are billed at $75 cancellation fee.
