What the Heck is Therapy?

Psychotherapy, also known as “talk therapy,” is when a person speaks with a trained therapist in a safe and confidential environment to explore and understand feelings and behaviors and gain coping skills.
During individual talk therapy sessions, the conversation is often led by the therapist and can touch on topics such as past or current problems, experiences, thoughts, feelings or relationships experienced by the person while the therapist helps make connections and provide insight. - NAMI, 2022

What should I expect from Purple Cow Collective?

Initial consult. (15 Min) Contact me via online booking, email or phone to set up an initial consult via phone or telehealth.

Determine If would be a good fit for working together.
Answer any questions you may have about therapy or my practice.
If we are a good fit, and you wish to continue:
- We will schedule an Initial Intake appointment.
- You will receive an email from me with a link for a client portal, and documents to complete prior to our appointment.
- We will discuss if you would like to meet in person or via Telehealth.
- We will also discuss payment at that time.

Intake Appointment (60-70 Min)

This initial session is way for me to get information about you, your current concerns, as well as get to know you better.

This session is typically 60 min due to the amount of information gathered.
At the end of this session we will discuss next steps.
Send/Discuss IVY Pay Information:
- Your payment will be processed by the end of the day with the credit care I have on file.

On-Going support (55 Min/Weekly/Bi-weekly or Monthly):

The amount of therapeutic sessions you will need truly depends on the person and situation. It can truly be a wide range. I have short and long term work with clients. You get to determine the space and time for sessions. I do recommend doing weekly sessions for at least 1 month at the beginning just to establish the therapeutic relationship. Also, know your rights as a client.

You will have access to your client portal. This is where you can cancel, reschedule, or make therapy appointments.
You can terminate the therapeutic relationship at any time.
If you feel as though you are not getting your needs met, I can provide referrals at any time for you to seek support from another clinician.
