90-Minute Assessment

Service Description

The first stage of psychotherapy usually begins with one or two 90-minute assessment consultations. These longer sessions give us time to think carefully about what has brought you to therapy, your current difficulties, your history, and what you may be hoping for from the work. I will ask questions to help us understand your situation more fully, but this is not a rushed or mechanical assessment. It is also an opportunity for you to get a sense of how I work and whether the space feels right for you. Together, we can begin to consider whether psychodynamic psychotherapy may be helpful, and what kind of ongoing therapy, if any, would be most appropriate.
