What you can expect:
 
Initial Assessment/First Session:
During the initial assessment I will gather details about the problems and concerns that brought you to therapy.  We will talk about your situation, clarify what you want to work on, discuss goals, where you are feeling stuck and what it might take to resolve the issue.  All sessions are 50 minutes in length.

Most people do best having weekly sessions for the first month.  During our sessions we'll talk about your situation, challenges, and successes.  I will assign specific homework including steps to take, things to think about and consider, resources to explore and new behaviors to practice.


Individual therapy:
Individual therapy is geared towards those who are struggling with difficulties in relationships and are experiencing feelings of sadness, depression, anxiety, hopelessness and grief. 

Exploring personal and relationship issues through a supportive relationship can help you develop more awareness about what is contributing to your struggles and what action to take to make positive changes in your life.


Family therapy:
The goal of family therapy is to strengthen the relationships between all family members so that the family becomes a source of support to its members.  Family counseling can involve sessions with your entire family together or with various combinations of family members.  
  
You and your family members can change unhealthy patterns of interacting and communicating with each other to more productive patterns of interaction.  


Parent Counseling/Coaching: (click here for more info)  
Parent counseling/coaching is for parents who are looking for support and guidance with issues relating to their child or teen.  I help parents learn to deal more effectively with their child by offering new parenting skills and behavior management strategies to stop negative behavior and return peace to their home. 

I take a collaborative approach with parents and require your active involvement. I believe that parents know their child better than anyone.  I work by offering ideas to you and also by asking for your suggestions so that together we can determine what is best for you and your child.


Parent Counseling/Coaching in your home:
I offer the same parent counseling/coaching services to parents and families in their own home when we decide together that it would be beneficial.  This is not a service that is reimbursed by the insurance company.  Additional charges are required for travel time.  I’m willing to travel within a 10 mile radius of my Walpole office.



Counseling for Children and Teens:
Child and adolescent therapy sessions can help to identify any areas of potential difficulty and help children make sense of and adjust to dramatic changes that have taken place in their lives such as a parents' divorce. 

When teens are going through a rough time, such as family troubles or problems in school, difficulties with friends they might feel more supported if they talk to a therapist.  Teens may find that they are  feeling sad, angry, or overwhelmed by what's been happening and can benefit from help sorting out their feelings, finding solutions to their problems, or just feeling better.
